Federal acts-legal actions authorized-2.
This bill authorizes the Wyoming legislature to sue in court to protect the state's interests in federal land management laws, including the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and others. It allows the legislature or its management council to initiate lawsuits with a majority vote, using up to $75 million in state funds appropriated from the general fund. The funds must be spent by June 2028 for legal actions challenging federal land use policies within Wyoming. The bill creates a formal process for the legislature to seek court rulings on federal law interpretations affecting state rights.
