H Did not Consider for Introduction
Summary
The bill allows the Board of Land Commissioners to designate state parcels as state heritage sites when they have exceptional archaeological, historical, or cultural value and when the designation serves the long‑term benefit of land‑trust beneficiaries. Citizens, local governments, the legislature, the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribes, or the state archaeologist can nominate lands, and the Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources reviews those nominations and advises the board. Designated sites may not be used for industrial activities that would damage their value, though limited educational, research, tourism, or recreational leases are permitted.
