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 "Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision".
This measure rolls back a December 2024 federal plan that restricted oil and gas leasing in the coastal plain of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. By overturning that plan, the bill lifts rules that limited the amount of land offered for lease and restricted where drilling equipment could be built. As a result, energy companies could gain access to larger areas with fewer environmental restrictions, while removing the specific protections set aside for local wildlife and habitats.
