AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to authorize the State Forester to hire additional employees funded through the Wyoming state forestry good neighbor authority revolving account. Specifically, the bill allows the State Forester to fill up to four (4) full-time employee positions and six (6) at-will employee contract positions, up from the previous limit of one (1) full-time position. The good neighbor authority program enables the state to partner with federal agencies to conduct cooperative forest management projects on federal lands. This bill aims to provide the State Forester with more staffing flexibility to carry out these federally funded projects.
