House Votes

This measure would cancel a Bureau of Land Management plan for its North Dakota Field Office that was issued on January 8, 2025. That plan guided how BLM manages these public lands. It limited oil and gas development in areas with low potential and allowed new coal leasing only within four miles of existing mines .

If this measure takes effect, the 2025 plan would no longer apply. The earlier rules for managing these BLM lands would remain in place instead .
