Summary
Official abstract published by the Wyoming legislature· summary
This joint resolution requests Congress to introduce a bill and enact law to amend the federal Mineral Leasing Act to authorize the state of Wyoming to administer and manage mineral leasing on federal lands located in Wyoming. This joint resolution specifically requests Congress to allow Wyoming to enter into cooperative agreements with the United States Secretary of Interior for Wyoming to assume administrative primacy for mineral leasing on specified federal lands located within Wyoming. The cooperative agreements must: Remain consistent with applicable federal law unless otherwise expressly provided by Congress; Allow for modification or termination only upon mutual consent of the parties; andProvide that the revenue distribution must be consistent with federal statutory formulas except the two percent (2%) administrative cost deduction must be allocated to and retained by Wyoming instead of the federal government. This joint resolution makes findings regarding the federal Mineral Leasing Act, identifies concerns with the federal administration of mineral leasing in Wyoming, and explains why Wyoming should assume administration of federal mineral leasing on lands within the state.
