Bill > HB0013

This bill transfers governance of the Integrated Test Center (ITC) from the state of Wyoming to the University of Wyoming's School of Energy Resources, with oversight from the energy resources council. The bill codifies the ITC's existing operations and establishes specific guidelines for its management, including designing and operating a facility to study carbon dioxide emissions capture, sequestration, and research. The School of Energy Resources is tasked with entering into leases for the facility, prioritizing research projects that have potential commercial success, benefit Wyoming's energy sector, and increase the state's national and international innovation profile. The bill requires annual reporting to legislative committees about the center's activities, accomplishments, and economic benefits. All existing property, equipment, obligations, and unexpended funds of the ITC will be transferred to the University of Wyoming, and the bill ensures that existing agreements and contracts remain valid. The transfer is designed to streamline the center's governance while maintaining its core mission of advancing energy research and innovation in Wyoming.
