Senate Passes Resolution to Block New Vehicle Rules in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

In a recent vote, the Senate has approved a resolution that stops new rules regarding motor vehicles in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This decision means that the National Park Service will not be able to enforce their proposed regulations about how cars and other vehicles are managed in this popular area.

The resolution, which is known as H.J. Res. 60, passed with a vote of 53 in favor and 47 against. Most of the support came from Senate Republicans, who wanted to ensure that visitors could continue to enjoy Glen Canyon without facing any new restrictions on vehicle use.

The rules that the National Park Service wanted to change could have made it harder for people to drive, camp, or explore this beautiful landscape. By blocking these rules, the Senate is keeping things as they are, allowing visitors to access the area freely. This is good news for tourists who love to drive around the vast scenery and for local businesses that rely on visitors.

Overall, the Senate's decision to pass H.J. Res. 60 means that Glen Canyon will remain open and welcoming, keeping the same driving conditions for everyone who visits.

This is a resolution that blocks a rule from the National Park Service about driving motor vehicles in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

Key Points:

  1. Congress disapproves the rule about motor vehicles in Glen Canyon. This means the rule will not be enforced.

Supporting Details:

  • The House of Representatives passed this decision on April 29, 2025.
  • The National Park Service had a rule that affected how people could use motor vehicles in this area, but now that rule has no power.

This decision is important for people who visit Glen Canyon, as it changes how they can access and enjoy the area using vehicles.
