Bill Analysis
HJRES 60, enacted as Public Law No: 119-13, addresses a specific rule submitted by the National Park Service (NPS) concerning motor vehicle use within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GCNRA). This joint resolution utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to disapprove the NPS rule, effectively nullifying its implementation.
The rule in question aimed to regulate motor vehicle access and usage within GCNRA, a significant recreational area that encompasses parts of Arizona and Utah, known for its scenic landscapes and outdoor activities. By disapproving this regulation, the resolution reinstates prior policies governing motor vehicle use, which may have been less restrictive than those proposed by the NPS.
Funding and authorities related to this bill primarily involve the National Park Service, which is responsible for managing national parks and recreation areas. The disapproval of the rule means that the NPS will not be able to enforce the new regulations regarding motor vehicles, impacting how visitors access and enjoy the recreation area.
The primary beneficiaries of this disapproval are recreational users of the GCNRA, including tourists, outdoor enthusiasts, and local businesses that rely on visitor traffic. Conversely, the resolution may limit the NPS’s ability to implement measures aimed at protecting natural resources and ensuring visitor safety through regulated vehicle access.
Key timelines associated with HJRES 60 include its introduction in Congress, subsequent passage through both chambers, and final enactment into law. The resolution reflects the legislative process of oversight and disapproval, allowing Congress to exert its authority over federal agency regulations. The swift movement of the bill through Congress indicates a strong legislative interest in maintaining existing access policies for motor vehicles in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
