More wildfire teams for Wyoming

Beginning April 1, 2026, the law provides $5.144 million from Wyoming's general fund for two specialized wildfire teams. The teams support wildfire response and projects that reduce flammable plants and other materials. Wyoming's State Forestry Division gets authority for 24 full-time positions: four regional fire managers and team leaders, plus 20 temporary positions. Four temporary positions last nine months, and 16 last six months. The Office of State Lands and Investments can use the money only for these teams, including staffing, support, equipment, hiring, training, certification, and supervision. Funding is available through June 30, 2028; any money neither spent nor committed returns to the state that day. The legislature intends all 24 positions to enter the agency's next two-year standard budget. However, $1 million of this funding must not be included in that next standard budget.
