"Senate To Consider Resolution Rolling Back Obama-Era Land Rule"

"The Senate is set to roll back another Obama-era environment rule this week.

Senators on Monday will begin the process of repealing a Bureau of Land Management rule to reorganize the government’s land planning and management guidelines.

The House passed a Congressional Review Act resolution against the rule on a 234-186 vote in early February. Under the CRA, resolutions undoing regulations require only a majority vote in the Senate, meaning Republicans are likely to have enough votes to pass the measure."
