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 "National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision".

H.J.Res. 124 proposes to nullify a 2022 Bureau of Land Management rule governing the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, a 23-million-acre area on Alaska's North Slope. The 2022 plan had closed approximately 48% of the reserve to oil and gas leasing to protect wildlife and support subsistence uses for local communities. If enacted, this resolution would remove those protections and revert management back to the 2020 plan, which allowed more extensive oil and gas development across the reserve.

It is important to note that this is a joint resolution under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to disapprove of federal regulations. However, the practical effect would be to eliminate environmental and wildlife protections currently in place and potentially increase opportunities for oil and gas drilling in a sensitive Arctic region. The bill was introduced in September 2025 and has not yet advanced to committee, meaning most introduced bills do not proceed further in the legislative process.
