Latest action: Became Public Law No: 119-48.
Signed into law by the President (or passed over a veto). Now public law.
The President signed the bill into law (or Congress overrode a veto). It's now public law and federal agencies will implement it.
Congress rejected a federal land management plan for Montana's Miles City area.
The problem
The Bureau of Land Management created a new resource management plan for the Miles City Field Office in Montana. Congress wanted to block this plan using its disapproval power.
The proposal
This joint resolution disapproves the BLM's Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment under congressional review rules.
The impact
The disapproval blocks the BLM's management plan for federal lands in the Miles City area, affecting land use, resources, and local stakeholders in Montana.
Congress blocked a federal plan that some local communities opposed. This gives local voices more say in how nearby federal lands are managed instead of distant federal agencies making all decisions alone.
This law shows Congress can review and stop major federal rules it disagrees with. This keeps executive agencies from acting without any legislative branch check.
The disapproval may protect local economic interests, whether ranching, mining, or other land uses that the original plan might have limited or changed.
Without an approved plan, the Miles City Field Office lacks clear direction for managing these federal lands. This creates confusion about permitted activities and conservation standards.
The original plan may have included protections for wildlife, water, or ecosystems. Blocking it could leave these resources without planned management or safeguards.
Instead of having a final plan, this decision may trigger new proposals and ongoing fights. This costs time and money without settling what rules should actually apply.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
