A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Park Service relating to "Glen Canyon National Recreation Area; Motor Vehicles".
This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove a National Park Service rule about motor vehicle rules in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. If enacted, it would render the NPS rule (published in the Federal Register on January 13, 2025 as 90 Fed. Reg. 2621) null and void, with no force or effect. The sponsors are Senators Curtis and Lee, and the measure has moved through the Senate committee process and is now on the calendar for consideration. Under the Congressional Review Act, Congress has a formal process to disapprove recent federal rules. A joint resolution disapproving a rule, once enacted, blocks that rule from taking effect and prevents it from being enforced unless later changed by new rulemaking or legislation.
