Replaces the President’s existing authority to create or expand national monuments under the Antiquities Act with a requirement that Congress expressly authorize any new or enlarged national monument. In practice, the bill removes or overrides unilateral executive proclamations establishing or enlarging national monuments and makes Congress the sole explicit authorizing body for those actions.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
