Senate Energy Committee Advances Bills Important to Wyoming

The U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted to advance the American Voices in Federal Lands Act at their business meeting Wednesday. Senators John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis introduced the legislation that will restrict foreign adversaries and artificial intelligence from providing input on federal land management rulemaking. Following the committee’s vote to advance the bill, Senator Barrasso delivered the following remarks.

The committee also voted to advance the Wyoming Education Trust Modernization Act, which was introduced by Senators Lummis and Barrasso. The bill would amend Wyoming’s State Act of Admission to provide the state’s permanent school land fund with enhanced investment flexibility, potentially increasing annual returns for K-12 education
