Demands the federal government transfer title of all public lands within Idaho's borders to the state, citing historical compacts and the 1890 Idaho Admissions Act that promised federal land disposition to create new states with equal sovereignty.

Argues the federal government breached its trust obligation by retaining land ownership since 1976 through the Federal Land Policy Management Act (FLPMA), depriving Idaho of tax revenues, mineral lease proceeds, and control over approximately two-thirds of the state's land area.

Proposes an Interim Public Lands Study Committee to determine which federal lands should be sold to private owners, with 5% of net proceeds going to the Public School Endowment Fund and 95% to pay down federal debt.

States Idaho intends to cede national parks, wilderness areas designated under the 1964 Wilderness Act, and Department of Defense and Energy lands back to federal control upon receiving title transfer, subject to conditions they remain unchanged.

Directs copies be sent to federal agencies, Congress leadership, Idaho's congressional delegation, and all 49 other state governors and legislatures.
