Weed and pest mitigation-tribal inclusion.

This bill (SF 27) amends Wyoming law to explicitly allow the Eastern Shoshone Tribe and Northern Arapaho Tribe to apply for participation in state emergency insect management programs. It updates the application process to include these tribes directly, alongside state agencies and political subdivisions, by requiring applications to be filed with the Department of Agriculture. The tribes would need to demonstrate compliance with established standards for these programs. The bill was designed to ensure tribal inclusion in existing pest control efforts, though it died in committee in 2023 and never became law.
