What H.J.Res. 104 does
H.J.Res. 104 opens certain federal land in eastern Montana to coal leasing. It overturns the Bureau of Land Management's plan amendment for the Miles City Field Office, which the agency approved on November 20, 2024.
That amendment made no acres available for coal leasing and placed 1,745,040 acres off limits for further consideration for coal leasing, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
