SJRES 80 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 Bureau of Land Management relating to "National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision".

This bill (SJRES 80) is a joint resolution disapproving a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) concerning oil and gas activities in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. It directly affects the BLM's management of the reserve by nullifying its 2022 "Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision," which outlined drilling and leasing plans. The resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act (chapter 8 of title 5 U.S. Code) to formally block the rule, stating it "shall have no force or effect." This procedural action was passed by Congress and signed into law on December 5, 2025, reversing the BLM's regulatory framework for the Alaska reserve.
