This joint resolution, introduced July 10, 2025, would disapprove a rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) called the "North Dakota Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan." The resolution cites that the record of decision and approved resource management plan was issued January 14, 2025 and that a Government Accountability Office letter (June 25, 2025) concluded the action is a rule under the Congressional Review Act. The resolution states that Congress disapproves that rule and that the rule "shall have no force or effect." The measure was sponsored by Senators Kevin Cramer and John Hoeven and was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders (Calendar No. 180).
If this joint resolution becomes law, the specific BLM record of decision and approved resource management plan named in the resolution would be nullified and would have no legal force.
