introduced a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to reject the Biden administration's 2025 Resource Management Plan (RMP) for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, returning management of the monument to the 2021 RMP that was developed with the input and support of local communities
the Western Caucus will continue its mission to advance policies that strengthen rural economies, protect natural resources, defend property rights
Evidence
Local communities should have greater control in the management of our natural resources. These include energy generation and transmission, mining, oil and gas drilling, public lands, and water. I also believe in the 'all-of-the-above' approach to ensure U.S. energy independence. We need to use and develop a combination of resources to meet our energy needs. I will continue to support greater domestic production of fossil fuels, geothermal and nuclear energy, and critical mineral mining.
Congress.gov lists H.R. 7332, sponsored by Rep. Celeste Maloy, as having become Public Law No. 118-181 on 2024-12-23. The law requires conveyance of certain federal lands to Utah for inclusion in state parks and allows public uses such as parks, recreation, and grazing.
Maloy announced a joint resolution of disapproval under the CRA to reject the Biden administration's 2025 Grand Staircase-Escalante RMP and restore the 2021 plan, saying it would return management with local input and multiple-use access.
Assessments
Rep. Celeste Maloy sponsored H.R. 7332, which became Public Law No. 118-181 on 2024-12-23 and conveyed certain federal lands to Utah for state park use, directly advancing greater Utah control over land and resources. A later 2026 resolution and general issue statements reinforce the same position, but the enacted 2024 law is the decisive fulfillment within her term.
Maloy materially advanced and sponsored federal legislation directly tied to the promise: H.R. 7332, the Utah State Parks Adjustment Act, which became law in the 118th Congress and conveys certain federal lands to Utah for state park management. That is a concrete federal outcome giving Utah more control over land management, not merely a public stance. Additional public-lands and resource efforts reinforce continued advocacy, but the enacted land-transfer law is sufficient for delivery in her current House term.
