What this bill does

  • This joint resolution overturns a 2024 Bureau of Land Management rule that stopped federal coal leasing in Wyoming's Buffalo Field Office.
  • The action affects coal companies, environmental groups, and the federal government's management of public lands in Wyoming.
  • The measure takes effect immediately upon passage and restores the 2015 resource management plan allowing coal leasing to resume.
