Conservation groups applaud removal of land sale amendment from House budget bill
Published: , in Outdoor News
National conservation groups were celebrating a major win on Thursday: the withdrawal of provisions in the House budget reconciliation bill – the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) – that would have authorized the sale of nearly 500,000 acres of public lands in Utah and Nevada.
The provisions, introduced via a late-night amendment during the May 6 House Natural Resources Committee markup of the bill by Representatives Mark Amodei (R-Nev.) and Celeste Maloy (R-Utah), would have set a dangerous precedent for public land policy.
