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 "Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan".
This joint resolution proposes to exercise congressional disapproval over a specific rule promulgated by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The rule in question is the "Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan," which was issued on January 13, 2025. Utilizing the authority granted under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, known as the Congressional Review Act (CRA) , the resolution aims to nullify this BLM action. A Government Accountability Office (GAO) opinion confirmed that the BLM's record of decision and management plan qualifies as a rule under the CRA, making it subject to congressional review. If enacted, this resolution would ensure the disapproved rule has no legal force or effect.
