Bill > SF0017

This bill amends existing Wyoming law to expand the "Good Neighbor Authority," which allows the state to collaborate with federal agencies on forest management projects. Specifically, it removes the previous limit on the number of employee positions that can be hired for these projects, ensuring that these positions are funded solely through a dedicated "Wyoming state forestry good neighbor authority revolving account." This account will now be able to receive various forms of financial support, including grants, gifts, transfers, bequests, and donations, which can be restricted in their use by the donor, but it prohibits the acceptance of real property for the authority's purposes. The bill also clarifies that funds in this account can be used for hiring additional employees for these cooperative forest management projects.
