We took legislative action and, through this CRA, reversed a rule pushed through by the previous administration. Utahns shouldn\u2019t be shut out of decisions that affect their own backyard. Now we can continue to recreate in the National Recreation Area. Thank you to our Senators for working with me to get this done for Utah,\u201d said Rep. Maloy.\n\n\u201cRestoring off-road access in Glen Canyon is an important step to ensure our public lands remain open to the people\u2014not closed off by Washington bureaucrats,\u201d said Senator Curtis. \u201cI\u2019m proud to have worked alongside Senator Lee and Representative Maloy to get this bill signed into law and make sure the voices of Utahns were not just heard, but respected. I look forward to getting out to Glen Canyon and enjoying its roads with my fellow Utahns.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis was a classic case of sue-and-settle policymaking where bureaucrats caved to activists and cut Americans out of the process. That\u2019s not how representation is supposed to work,\u201d said Senator Lee. \u201cI\u2019m proud President Trump signed this CRA into law\u2014making it clear that environmental groups don\u2019t get to dictate our National Recreation Areas through backroom deals. That\u2019s exactly what happened at Glen Canyon, and this law puts a stop to it. If it says, \u2018National Recreation Area\u2019 on the map, people should be able to recreate there.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nOn February 12, a National Park Service rule went into effect restricting the use of ORVs and street-legal ATVs on 24 miles of park roads in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The route includes an 8-mile segment of the Poison Spring Loop and access roads to Lake Powell. Rep. Maloy filed a resolution under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) which allows Congress to overturn agency rules with a simple majority vote in both chambers and within 60 legislative days of the rule being submitted to Congress. It also prohibits the agency from issuing a new rule that is \u201csubstantially the same\u201d as the disapproved rule unless authorized by subsequent legislation.\n\nRead the full text of the resolution here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T01:08:28Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://maloy.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1572"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7642169948667288, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
