What S.J.Res. 89 does
S.J.Res. 89 would overturn a Bureau of Land Management decision, submitted November 20, 2024, that amended the 2015 resource management plan for the Buffalo Field Office in Wyoming so that no federal coal would be available for future leasing. Overturning it would require the agency to follow the 2015 plan as it was before the amendment and make coal available for leasing.
The agency made the amendment after a court held that it had to evaluate the climate impacts of federal coal leasing in that area, including alternatives to limit or stop leasing.
