H.R. 3946 · 114th Congress
Protecting Local Communities from Executive Overreach Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Protecting Local Communities from Executive Overreach Act
This bill declares that the President may not designate lands to be a new or expanded national monument unless within one year before a designation the Department of the Interior consults with each community, county, municipality, city, town, or township with boundaries within or adjacent to the land affected by the designation and obtains concurrence for the designation from:

- apply to more than 5,000 acres; or
- be used to create or expand a national monument located in specified counties in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Utah.
Water rights associated with a national monument created or expanded by a declaration:
- may not be reserved expressly or by implication by such a declaration, and
- may be acquired for a national monument created or expanded by a declaration only according to the laws of the state in which the water rights are based.
