Identifier: CAC_CC_003_2_36_10_0016

Scope and Contents

Paul Laxalt, a U.S. Senator from Nevada, is introducing legislation to improve Congressional oversight over Federal agencies managing public lands. The bill aims to use a legislative veto to control regulations inconsistent with Congressional intent. Laxalt believes this method is necessary to prevent regulatory overreach and protect public land users. The legislation requires a 90-day review period for regulations, with a concurrent resolution of disapproval needed to reject them. The bill is particularly important for Western states with high percentages of Federal land ownership.
