SJRES 17 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture relating to "Law Enforcement; Criminal Prohibitions".

This joint resolution (SJRES 17) seeks to block a specific rule issued by the U.S. Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture. The rule, published in the Federal Register on November 25, 2024, established new criminal prohibitions related to law enforcement activities on federal lands. If passed, this resolution would formally disapprove the rule under Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code, making the rule legally ineffective and preventing it from taking effect. The resolution directly affects the Forest Service's ability to enforce this particular criminal prohibition rule.
