The bill amends various sections of Wyoming law related to fire protection and electrical safety, specifically focusing on the fees collected by the Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety. It establishes new fee limits for plan reviews, electrical inspections, and permits, with significant increases in several areas. For instance, the fee for electrical inspection of each residential unit is raised from $20 to $50, and the electrical wiring permit fee is increased from $50 to $125. Additionally, the bill includes a technical correction regarding the establishment of fees by the department and requires the department to promulgate necessary rules for implementation.

Furthermore, the bill repeals a specific subsection related to fees and outlines the effective dates for the new provisions, with most taking effect on July 1, 2023, while the rulemaking provisions become effective immediately upon the bill's passage. The changes aim to enhance the financial framework for fire and electrical safety inspections and services, ensuring that the fees reflect current costs and standards.
