This joint resolution requests that Congress amend the federal Mineral Leasing Act to allow the state of Wyoming to take over the administration and management of oil, gas, and coal leasing on federal lands within its borders. The resolution highlights the historical context of the Mineral Leasing Act, which governs the leasing of federal lands for mineral exploration and development, and notes the challenges faced by Wyoming due to inconsistent federal management, including leasing moratoriums and regulatory delays that have negatively impacted the state's economy and energy sector.

The resolution argues that Wyoming has the expertise and local knowledge necessary to manage these resources more effectively than the federal government. It emphasizes that state control would lead to more efficient decision-making processes that reflect local priorities and conditions. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State of Wyoming to send copies of this request to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress, advocating for the proposed changes to the Mineral Leasing Act.
