The bill aims to use a legislative veto to control regulations inconsistent with Congressional intent. Laxalt believes this method is necessary to prevent regulatory overreach and protect public land users. The legislation requires a 90-day review period for regulations, with a concurrent resolution of disapproval needed to reject them. The bill is particularly important for Western states with high percentages of Federal land ownership.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
