Bill Summary
A JOINT RESOLUTION requesting Congress recognize the protection of Wyoming's freedom of access to public lands, to allow responsible development of resources, recreation, agriculture, hunting, fishing, trapping, and conservation under multiple-use frameworks, to protect local participation in land management decisions, and to keep public lands available to the people of Wyoming.
AI Summary
This joint resolution requests Congress to recognize Wyoming's right to access and manage its public lands for various purposes, including resource development, recreation, agriculture, hunting, fishing, trapping, and conservation, all within a "multiple-use framework," which means managing lands for various, sometimes competing, uses. It emphasizes the importance of local input in land management decisions and keeping these lands available to the people of Wyoming, opposing broad or indiscriminate sales or exchanges of public lands. The resolution also calls for federal agencies to respect existing land management plans developed by Wyoming counties and for any land adjustments or disposals to be locally supported and demonstrably beneficial, while also advocating for adequate funding for agencies to efficiently process such matters.
