Bill Analysis
Bill Summary: HJRES 104 (119th Congress)
HJRES 104 is a joint resolution aimed at disapproving a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) concerning the “Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment.” This resolution is introduced under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to review and potentially reject federal regulations.
Key Provisions: The resolution effectively nullifies the BLM’s decision and resource management plan amendment, which outlines land use and resource allocation strategies for the Miles City Field Office in Montana. The amendment is significant as it impacts land management practices, including grazing, recreation, and resource extraction activities in the region.
Funding and Authorities: HJRES 104 does not allocate specific funding but serves as a legislative mechanism to overturn the BLM’s regulatory authority concerning the management plan. The resolution relies on the authority granted under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which governs the Congressional Review Act.
Affected Programs and Agencies: The primary agency affected by this resolution is the Bureau of Land Management, which is responsible for managing public lands and resources. The resolution directly impacts the Miles City Field Office and its stakeholders, including local land users, conservation groups, and industry representatives involved in resource extraction and land use.
Beneficiaries and Regulation: The resolution may benefit local stakeholders who oppose the BLM’s management plan, including ranchers, energy companies, and other land users who seek less restrictive land use policies. Conversely, it may disadvantage conservationists and environmental advocates who support the original management plan aimed at protecting natural resources and ecosystems.
Key Timelines: The latest action on HJRES 104 indicates that it has been presented to the President, marking the final step in the legislative process. If signed into law, the resolution will take immediate effect, rescinding the BLM’s rule.
