The Wyoming Range Legacy Act is legislation that has been introduced by US Senator, John Barrasso and that builds upon efforts initiated by Senator Craig Thomas prior to his death. The purpose of the bill is to withdraw certain Federal land in the Wyoming Range from leasing and provide an opportunity to retire certain leases in the Wyoming Range and to protect Wyoming Range from future oil and gas drilling.

According to the website http://www.wyomingrange.org/ Senator Barrasso's Wyoming Range Legacy Act has recently made it out of committee and now awaits a full vote on the Senate floor. The site also states that "The legislation has generated three different government assessments which show it would not have an impact on Wyoming's important energy work. The reports confirm the bill is a balanced solution that would protect a special place while allowing Wyoming to continue producing its share of energy."
