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".
Summary
This law uses the Congressional Review Act to reject a National Park Service rule governing motor vehicle use at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, located in Arizona and Utah. The rejected rule, finalized in January 2025, had restricted off-highway vehicles and street-legal all-terrain vehicles in sensitive areas of the recreation area. By disapproving this rule, the law prevents the restrictions from taking effect and returns motor vehicle policies to their previous state. The law became effective when signed by the President on May 23, 2025, and the National Park Service formally withdrew the rule on March 18, 2026. This action affects visitors and residents who use Glen Canyon National Recreation Area for motorized recreation, as it allows continued access to areas that the rejected rule would have restricted. The recreation area, spanning southern Utah and northern Arizona, is known for its remote landscapes and recreational opportunities including both motorized and non-motorized activities.
