SJRES 89 uses the Congressional Review Act to cancel the Buffalo Field Office Resource Management Plan Amendment, a land management plan the Bureau of Land Management finalized in November 2024. The plan set rules for grazing, energy development, wildlife habitat, and other uses of federal land near Buffalo, Wyoming. If the resolution passes both chambers and is signed into law, the plan would have no legal force.
The bill most directly affects ranchers, farmers, energy companies, hunters, and outdoor recreationists who use federal land in northeastern Wyoming. It was introduced by Wyoming senators Lummis and Barrasso.
The Government Accountability Office determined in September 2025 that the BLM plan qualified as a formal rule under federal law, making it eligible for rejection through the Congressional Review Act. The bill is part of a broader dispute over whether Congress or federal agencies have final authority over public land management.
