Bill Summary

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to "Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision".

AI Summary

This joint resolution concerns a congressional disapproval of a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule related to the Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision, which was issued on December 9, 2024. The resolution specifically utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA), a legislative mechanism that allows Congress to overturn federal regulations by passing a joint resolution. Based on a Government Accountability Office (GAO) letter of opinion dated August 25, 2025, which determined that the BLM's record of decision qualifies as a rule under the CRA, Congress is asserting its authority to nullify the regulation. If passed, this resolution would effectively invalidate the BLM's rule, preventing it from having any legal force or effect, thereby blocking the implementation of the specified coastal plain oil and gas leasing program.
