Natural Resource Protection Act.

HB 36, the "Natural Resource Protection Act," prohibits Wyoming state agencies and funds from enforcing federal land management rules deemed non-compliant with federal law. It requires the governor to determine (with attorney general advice) that a federal rule violates federal law, then directs state resources to stop supporting that rule's enforcement. The law exempts existing federal agreements and allows accepting federal law enforcement funds. It directly affects Wyoming's state agencies and budget allocations for federal land management. The bill takes effect July 1, 2024.
