Keeping public lands protected and decisions local.
Wyoming's SJ 9 is a joint resolution urging Congress to protect the state's access to federal public lands while ensuring local communities have a say in land management decisions. It opposes broad or indiscriminate sales of public lands and demands federal agencies respect Wyoming's existing land-use plans, county-level input, and multiple-use frameworks that support recreation, agriculture, hunting, fishing, and resource development. The resolution also calls for funding to streamline efficient land exchanges under current laws when they benefit local communities and public access, without advocating for specific policy changes.

MINOR
The bill was converted from a draft Senate Joint Resolution to an official Enrolled version, which is the final form ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive policy content remains identical, including the opposition to broad land sales and the demand for local input in federal land decisions. The primary changes are formatting updates, such as adding the official session details, page numbers, and the certification block for the Secretary of State.
TECHNICAL
The document format was updated to reflect its status as an Enrolled bill, including the addition of official headers, page numbering, and the signature/certification block at the end.
