SJRES 61 uses the Congressional Review Act to cancel a Bureau of Land Management plan amendment finalized in November 2024. The amendment governed how public lands in the Miles City Field Office area of eastern Montana can be used. If the resolution passes, the updated plan would be treated as though it never took effect.
Ranchers, farmers, and energy companies operating on or near public lands in the Miles City area of eastern Montana are most directly affected. Hunters, recreational users, and conservation interests in that region may also be affected depending on what the 2024 plan changed.
Canceling the plan shifts the balance of what activities are allowed or prioritized on those lands, including potential effects on grazing, oil and gas development, wildlife habitat, and recreation. The resolution is part of a broader ongoing debate about how much authority Congress has to override federal agency land management decisions.
