✆
In plain English
This joint resolution blocks a Bureau of Land Management rule that made federal coal unavailable for leasing in Wyoming's Buffalo Field Office. The rule, issued in November 2024, amended the BLM's 2015 management plan to stop coal leasing after a court required the agency to evaluate climate impacts. The resolution requires the BLM to revert to the 2015 plan and make coal available for leasing again. Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) sponsored the measure, which the Senate indefinitely postponed on November 20, 2025.
