Historic Roadways Protection Act
HR 6396, the Historic Roadways Protection Act, prohibits the use of federal funds to finalize or implement specific travel management plans in designated areas across Utah. It directly affects the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), blocking funding for new plans in 10 named travel management areas (like the San Rafael Swell and Nine Mile Canyon) and three additional plans (Indian Creek, San Rafael Desert, and Labyrinth/Gemini Bridges) during a defined period. The prohibition lasts until the Secretary of the Interior certifies that all R.S. 2477 court cases - legal disputes over historic rights-of-way - are resolved. This bill imposes a concrete funding restriction to delay certain land management decisions while related legal matters are pending.
