Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This bill is a joint resolution using the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to disapprove the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (ROD/ARMPA). Specifically, it targets the BLM’s Miles City decision issued on November 20, 2024, and a Government Accountability Office (GAO) opinion dated June 25, 2025 confirming that the Miles City ROD/ARMPA constitutes a “rule” under the CRA. If enacted, the bill would render that rule void and of no legal force or effect, effectively blocking the Miles City ROD/ARMPA from taking effect. The bill has passed the House (September 3, 2025) and would require passage by the Senate and the President’s signature to become law. It does not change broader BLM authority or other land-management decisions, but specifically nullifies this particular rule.
