Bill overview
This bill, the Congressional Oversight of the Antiquities Act, aims to increase congressional involvement in the process of designating national monuments under the Antiquities Act. Specifically, it introduces a time limit of six months or the end of the Congress session after a monument is established, and prevents the same land from being used for a new monument for 25 years if it’s not extended or modified. The bill modifies the existing Antiquities Act to provide greater congressional control over monument designations.
