SJRES 80 · 119th Congress · SenateEnacted

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 "National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision".

Provisional: our plain-language summary, pending review.

In plain language: This bill eliminates federal rules put in place in 2022 that restricted oil and gas leasing across roughly half of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. By canceling this management plan, the measure reopens millions of acres of public land to commercial energy exploration and potential drilling. It also bars federal land managers from enforcing similar environmental restrictions in the reserve without new authorization from Congress.
