This joint resolution would disapprove a rule the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) filed called the "Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan." The resolution says that rule (issued January 13, 2025) has no force or effect. It notes a Government Accountability Office letter (dated January 15, 2026 and printed in the Congressional Record on February 25, 2026) concluded that the BLM document is a rule under the Congressional Review Act. The resolution was introduced in the House on March 4, 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. Sponsors listed include Celeste Maloy and several other Representatives.
If Congress passed this joint resolution and the President signed it, the named BLM record of decision and approved resource management plan would be invalidated and would not take effect. No publicly available information in the bill text explains specific effects on land use, permits, or local management because the resolution only states disapproval of the rule itself.

No publicly available information in the bill text or metadata describes proponents' arguments or reasons beyond the text of the resolution and its sponsors.
