This legislative proposal, known as the Western Economic Security Today Act of 2025 (WEST Act of 2025), seeks to nullify a particular regulation from the Bureau of Land Management. Specifically, the bill mandates that the final rule derived from the proposed "Conservation and Landscape Health" rule, published in the Federal Register on April 3, 2023, will have no legal standing. The primary objective is to eliminate the legal authority and implementation of this BLM rule, effectively preventing its enforcement and reversing the policy direction it established.
