To prohibit the implementation of the Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment for the Buffalo, Wyoming Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management.

This bill would stop the Bureau of Land Management from using its 2024 plan for managing public lands in three counties in north-central Wyoming. The BLM office there manages about 780,000 acres of public land and over 4 million acres of mineral rights. In 2015, the BLM made a plan that allowed coal mining leases on some of these lands, but a court later ordered them to redo their environmental review and consider alternatives like not allowing any new coal leases. In response, the BLM updated their plan in November 2024 to stop offering new coal leases while still allowing existing coal operations to continue.
