What S.J.Res. 80 does
S.J.Res. 80 reopens parts of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, a roughly 23-million-acre area on the state's North Slope, to oil and gas leasing. It nullifies the Bureau of Land Management's 2022 plan for the reserve, which had replaced a 2020 plan and closed about 48% of the reserve to leasing to protect wildlife and subsistence uses for communities.
With the 2022 plan's protections removed, management reverts to the 2020 plan.
