Bill overview
This bill aims to limit the President’s power to create or expand national monuments on public lands. Currently, the Antiquities Act grants the President this authority, but S. 220 seeks to shift this responsibility to Congress. The bill specifically alters the Antiquities Act to require congressional approval for any new national monument designation or expansion. This change would ensure that decisions about these protected areas are made through the legislative process.
