§ 9-4-401 — Distribution of funds

(a) All funds received by the state of Wyoming, as its
distributive share of the amounts collected by the United States
government under the provisions of the act of congress of June
28, 1934 (48 Stat. 1269), known as the Taylor Grazing Act, and
any act amendatory thereof, shall be deposited with the state
treasurer. Upon receipt the state treasurer shall distribute the
money to the several counties of the state in which the public
lands are located. The state treasurer shall ascertain from the
proper United States officers having the records of receipt from
leased or sold public lands the amount of receipts from the
sources in this state for each year for which money is received
by the state. A separate account shall be kept of the sum
received from sale or lease rentals from public lands, which sum
shall be segregated by the state treasurer and paid to the
county in which the leased or sold public land is located. If
any leased or sold land lies in more than one (1) county of the
state, each county shall receive a proportional amount of the
revenue as the area of the leased or sold public land included
within the boundary of the county bears to the total area of the
leased or sold public land.
(b) In the case of monies received from grazing fees, the
state treasurer shall distribute the fees attributable to the
following federal grazing districts as constituted prior to the
