SJRES-62 : Still Just a Bill

This joint resolution, S.J. Res. 62, introduced by Senators Cramer and Hoeven, seeks to nullify a rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) pertaining to the "North Dakota Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan."

Key points:

• Congressional Disapproval: The resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act to disapprove the BLM's rule.
• Rule in Question: The rule under scrutiny is the "North Dakota Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan," issued on January 14, 2025.
• Grounds for Disapproval: The Government Accountability Office (GAO) determined that the BLM's action constitutes a rule subject to Congressional Review Act oversight.
• Effect of Passage: If passed, the resolution would invalidate the BLM's rule, preventing it from being enforced.
