Of inquiry requesting the President and directing the Secretary of the Interior to transmit, respectively, certain documents and other information to the House of Representatives relating to the executive order on the review of designations under the Antiquities Act.

Bill 115 H.Res. 555 is a resolution introduced in the US Congress that requests the President and directs the Secretary of the Interior to provide certain documents and information to the House of Representatives regarding the executive order on the review of designations under the Antiquities Act.

The Antiquities Act, passed in 1906, gives the President the authority to designate national monuments to protect significant natural, cultural, or scientific features. In April 2017, President Trump signed an executive order directing the Secretary of the Interior to review certain national monument designations made since 1996.

This resolution, introduced by members of the House of Representatives, seeks to obtain documents and information related to this executive order. The goal is to ensure transparency and accountability in the decision-making process surrounding the review of national monument designations. The resolution emphasizes the importance of preserving and protecting our nation's natural and cultural heritage, while also recognizing the need for a thorough and transparent review process. By requesting these documents and information, Congress aims to better understand the rationale behind the executive order and its potential impact on national monuments designated under the Antiquities Act. Overall, Bill 115 H.Res. 555 highlights the ongoing debate and scrutiny surrounding the review of national monument designations and underscores the importance of congressional oversight in matters related to public lands and conservation efforts.
