This joint resolution from the Wyoming legislature calls on the United States Congress to extinguish federal title over public lands and subsurface resources in Wyoming that originated from former federal territory. The resolution 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. It cites the Admissions Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which mandates that new states be admitted on equal footing with original states, and highlights that a significant portion of Wyoming's land and resources remains under federal jurisdiction, limiting the state's ability to exercise its sovereignty.

The resolution demands that Congress confirm its intent to dispose of the federal title by October 1, 2025, and proposes that these lands be transferred to the state to be maintained as public lands. It also expresses Wyoming's willingness to negotiate the cession of its jurisdiction over any lands deemed of national interest. The Wyoming legislature aims to uphold its constitutional rights and address what it perceives as violations of its sovereignty, urging federal action to rectify the situation. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress.
