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 "Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment".

In plain language: This resolution overturns a 2024 federal land management plan that banned new coal mining leases across public lands in eastern Montana. Passing the measure would restore previous leasing rules, allowing energy companies to once again apply for federal coal leases in the Miles City region. It also bars the Bureau of Land Management from issuing similar land-use restrictions in the future without approval from Congress.

Provisional: our plain-language summary, pending review.
