Latest action: Became Public Law No: 119-47.
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 rule managing oil and gas activities in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve.
The problem
The Bureau of Land Management issued a rule for developing the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. Congress disagreed with how the rule was made or what it required.
The proposal
This joint resolution cancels the Bureau's rule about managing oil and gas activities in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve through a congressional disapproval process.
The impact
Oil and gas companies operating in Alaska, environmental groups, Alaska communities, and federal land management policies are affected by removing this planning rule.
Removing the rule eliminates compliance costs and planning requirements for oil and gas companies. This may allow faster development and lower operational expenses.
Alaska may benefit from increased oil and gas development revenue. This supports local jobs and state tax income from energy production.
Using the disapproval process asserts congressional authority over agency rules. This follows statutory procedures for reviewing regulatory decisions.
The rule likely included wildlife habitat protections and environmental safeguards. Removing it weakens guardrails against ecological damage in sensitive areas.
The rule provided integrated planning for the reserve. Canceling it removes coordination between resource use and habitat preservation.
Companies and agencies now lack clear guidelines for Arctic reserve management. Future rules may differ, creating confusion and inconsistent policies.
The rule reflected agency analysis and public comment. Disapproving it bypasses detailed environmental review and stakeholder input.

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.
