The House voted Wednesday to strike down a trio of Biden-approved land use plans, arguing they were stifling oil drilling and coal mining.
The votes rolled back plans in three states: Montana, Alaska and North Dakota, under the Congressional Review Act, a fast-track procedure that allows Congress to overturn recent administration actions.
H.J. Res. 104, for Montana, passed 211-208; H.J. Res. 105, for North Dakota, passed 215-211; H.J. Res. 106, for Alaska, passed 215-210. All voting Democrats opposed the measures, with one Republican joining them on each — Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania.
Under typical circumstances, the Congressional Review Act allows Congress and the president to undo recent regulations that have been sent to Congress for review, though under a strict timeline.
