The bill amends and renames the existing coal-fired facility closures litigation funding account to the natural resource litigation account, ensuring that any funds currently in the account remain allocated for its intended purpose. It appropriates $7.5 million from the general fund to this account, which is designated for litigation expenses related to defending Wyoming's rights against federal and state actions that may hinder the management and development of the state's natural resources, particularly concerning coal. The bill also stipulates that any unspent funds will revert by June 30, 2027, in accordance with existing laws.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the governor and attorney general provide annual reports to the joint appropriations committee and the joint minerals, business, and economic development interim committee from October 1, 2025, through October 1, 2027. These reports will detail the expenditures from the natural resource litigation account and the status of any related litigation. The previous legislation that established the coal-fired facility closures litigation funding account is repealed as part of this bill, which takes effect immediately upon its passage.
