Federal natural resource management coordinator.
SF 28 would create a new "Federal natural resource management coordinator" position within Wyoming's governor's office to monitor and respond to federal actions affecting the state's natural resources. The coordinator would review federal laws and regulations for impacts on Wyoming's interests, coordinate land exchanges with federal agencies, and protect state rights from federal overreach - including administering incentives like bonuses for state employees who defend these interests. The bill appropriates $10 million from the state general fund to fund the position and its activities for two years (2024-2026), while repealing the existing "coordinator of state-federal relations" role. This positions the state to proactively address federal resource management decisions through a dedicated, funded role.
