Summary

This joint resolution would disapprove a Bureau of Land Management rule issued in November 2024 related to the Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment. If passed, the resolution would invalidate the rule and prevent it from taking effect. Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress has authority to disapprove federal agency rules within a specified period. The resolution was introduced under this authority after the Government Accountability Office determined the BLM action qualified as a rule subject to congressional review.
