This joint resolution would use the congressional review process (chapter 8 of title 5) to disapprove a Bureau of Land Management rule called the "Buffalo Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment." The rule was issued November 20, 2024 as a record of decision and approved resource management plan amendment. A Government Accountability Office letter dated September 18, 2025 and printed in the Congressional Record concluded that the record of decision and approved resource management plan is a rule under the Congressional Review Act. The resolution states that the rule is disapproved and "shall have no force or effect."
If this joint resolution were enacted, the specific BLM record of decision and resource management plan amendment for the Buffalo Field Office would be declared null and would no longer have legal effect. The resolution was introduced in the Senate on October 8, 2025 by Senators Cynthia Lummis and John Barrasso. Its current status is listed as "Indefinitely postponed by Senate by Unanimous Consent" and the legislative stage is "In Progress."
