The explanatory statement for HR6938, a bill that will give the BLM a budget for FY26, indicates that the amount available for wild horse and burro activities, $144 million, includes up to $11 million for immunocontraceptive vaccine strategies.
The bill does not acknowledge that roughly one third of FY26 has already passed and that the department was funded during that time by a continuing resolution.
In the preceding paragraph, the statement directs the agency to prioritize the analysis, review, processing and approval of grazing permits, as well as the administration of grazing permit renewals.
Given these priorities, which part of the new roundup schedule—not yet published—will receive the most attention, darting operations or motorized removal?
