The bill is a joint resolution from the Wyoming legislature demanding that the United States Congress extinguish federal title over public lands and subsurface resources in Wyoming that originated from former federal territory. It emphasizes the importance of state sovereignty and jurisdiction over these lands, arguing that the current federal control undermines Wyoming's status as an equal member of the Union. The resolution cites the Admissions Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which states that new states should be admitted on equal footing with original states, and highlights that a significant portion of Wyoming's land and resources remain under federal jurisdiction, limiting the state's ability to exercise its sovereignty.

The resolution calls for Congress to confirm its intent to dispose of the federal title by October 1, 2025, and proposes that these lands be maintained as state public lands to support Wyoming's established public land culture and economy. Additionally, it expresses the state's willingness to negotiate with Congress regarding the cession of its sovereign jurisdiction over any lands deemed of national interest. The resolution aims to uphold constitutional principles and rectify perceived violations related to Wyoming's admission into the Union.
