Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to Public Land Order No. 7917 for Withdrawal of Federal Lands; Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, MN.
This joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to overturn a Bureau of Land Management action. It disapproves the rule relating to Public Land Order No. 7917, which withdrew federal lands in Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, Minnesota, and provides that the rule has no force or effect. The disapproved order is identified as published at 88 Fed. Reg. 6308 on January 31, 2023.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 21 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 42 quarterly reports filed by 4 lobbying firms and by 17 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Backcountry Hunters & Anglers; Conservatives for Property Rights; Public Citizen; Americans for Prosperity; Building and Construction Trades Dept AFL-CIO. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 16 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
