Legislative approval of water compact amendments.

SF 39 would have required Wyoming's legislature to approve any changes to interstate water compacts before they take effect. This bill directly affects Wyoming's state government and its water management decisions, as it would have prevented the state from binding itself to new or altered water agreements without legislative consent. Key provisions include mandating legislative approval for amendments to interstate water compacts (excluding court rulings) and requiring the Attorney General to report such actions to the legislature. The bill, introduced in 2019 but never passed, aimed to ensure state lawmakers had a formal role in major water policy decisions involving neighboring states.
