A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Park Service relating to "Glen Canyon National Recreation Area; Motor Vehicles".

Plain-English Summary

This is a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution, which is a tool Congress can use to cancel a federal regulation that an executive agency has recently issued. In this case, Congress is voting to disapprove of — and effectively block — a rule created by the National Park Service (NPS) that sets regulations for motor vehicles in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a large federally managed area spanning parts of Utah and Arizona.

The specific NPS rule being challenged deals with how, where, and under what conditions people can use motor vehicles within Glen Canyon. While the full details of the rule are not included here, such regulations typically govern things like off-road vehicle access, which areas vehicles are permitted to enter, speed limits, and related land-use rules. If this resolution passes both chambers of Congress and is signed by the President, the NPS rule would be cancelled and could not be reissued in substantially the same form without new authorization from Congress.

This resolution primarily affects recreational users of Glen Canyon — including boaters, off-road vehicle enthusiasts, campers, and tourists — as well as local communities and tourism businesses in the surrounding region that depend on visitor access to the area. It also affects the National Park Service's authority to manage the recreation area according to its own regulations. The bill is currently advancing through the Senate after being released from committee through a formal petition process.
