Ending Presidential Overreach on Public Lands Act

Sponsored By: Representative Maloy, Celeste [R-UT-2]

Introduced

Summary

Requires Congress to explicitly authorize any creation or expansion of national monuments. This bill would amend Section 320301 of title 54, United States Code, to remove the President's unilateral authority under the Antiquities Act and make Congress the only body that can establish or extend national monuments. The amendment is narrowly focused on changing that legal authority for monument designations.

Congress would decide new national monuments

This bill would end the President’s ability to create or expand a national monument alone. Only Congress could approve a new monument or any expansion. If enacted, groups seeking new protections would need to persuade Congress, not the White House. People and businesses near public lands could see changes in how land protections are proposed and approved.
