What does this do?
SJRES 30 uses the Congressional Review Act to cancel a National Park Service rule finalized in January 2025 governing motor vehicle use at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, which spans parts of Utah and Arizona. If passed by both chambers and signed by the President, the rule would be permanently voided and could not be reinstated in the same form.
Who does it affect?
Two Utah senators introduced the resolution, suggesting constituents objected to the rule's vehicle access provisions. The measure directly affects visitors, off-road vehicle users, motorized boaters, nearby communities dependent on recreation and tourism, federal land managers, and conservationists who supported the original rule.
Why does it matter?
Eliminating the rule would remove whatever vehicle access restrictions the National Park Service put in place in January 2025, with effects on how the recreation area can be used going forward. Conservationists and federal land managers who supported the rule would lose the protections it established, and the agency could not reimpose the same rule if this resolution becomes law.
