Bill > HB0190

This bill mandates that the board of land commissioners, a state entity responsible for managing state lands, must transfer specific parcels of land located in Natrona County to the department of state parks and cultural resources by July 1, 2027, for the purpose of developing a state park. The board is authorized to use a portion of a $6.5 million appropriation to resolve any existing mineral leases on these lands, ensuring a clear transfer. The department of state parks and cultural resources must then complete a site criteria process, which involves evaluating the suitability of the land for park development, within one year of receiving the land and report its findings by October 1, 2027. The transfer of land will occur through a sale at fair market value, with the proceeds going into the common school account within the permanent land fund.
