Introduced·1/23/25
Introduced Text

Resolution demanding federal lands in Wyoming be transferred to the state.

The Wyoming legislature demands that Congress transfer federal lands and subsurface resources to the state, arguing that Wyoming's admission into the Union entitles it to full sovereignty over these areas. The resolution cites constitutional clauses and Wyoming's act of admission, emphasizing the state's right to equal footing with original states. It requests confirmation from Congress by October 1, 2025, of its intent to dispose of federal title in these lands and resources.
