the attorney general, that an executive order, final rule or
regulation of the federal government does not comply with
federal laws regarding federal land management and upon
providing notice, this state and all political subdivisions of
this state shall not use any personnel, funds appropriated by
the legislature or any other source of funds that originate
within the state of Wyoming to enforce or administer that
federal executive order, final rule or regulation. The governor
may make exceptions to the implementation of this subsection to

the governor believes the net effect of this exception is to
reduce the adverse impact of federal regulations on this state.
The governor shall not revoke a valid primacy agreement with a
federal agency over the regulation and enforcement of a federal
law or program until a court of competent jurisdiction
determines the federal executive order, final rule or regulation
is unlawful.

officer, as defined by W.S. 6-5-101(a)(v), from providing
assistance to federal authorities for purposes not specifically

act shall be construed to prohibit any governmental entity from
