This joint resolution aims to formally disapprove a specific rule established by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regarding the Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision . The resolution invokes the authority granted to Congress under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to review and overturn agency regulations. If passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law, this resolution would effectively declare the BLM's rule to have no force or effect . This action would prevent the implementation of the decision related to oil and gas leasing in the Coastal Plain, as determined by the BLM on December 9, 2024.
