Senate removes provision that would sell off public lands from megabill

  • On Saturday night, Senator Mike Lee withdrew the plan to sell millions of acres of public lands from the Senate megabill.
  • Amid uncertain vote counts and a looming July 4 deadline, Lee withdrew the public lands sale provision to protect the broader tax bill and a Trump Administration priority.
  • Senator Mike Lee's proposal to sell 2–3 million acres of public lands flagged concerns over foreign buyers like China and BlackRock, lacking enforceable safeguards for land sales.
  • Following Lee’s withdrawal, the legislation cleared a key procedural hurdle as outdoor groups and tribal communities successfully mobilized to protect public lands.
  • Despite the victory, Senator Lee warned he may pursue land-sale efforts again, as the broader reconciliation bill still threatens environmental protections and faces firm opposition from Montana and Idaho Republicans.
