This bill clarifies the authority of cities and towns in Wyoming to construct electricity production facilities and outlines the conditions under which revenue bonds can be issued for such facilities. It specifies that municipalities may operate electrical systems for wholesale energy production under agreements with public utilities, and it establishes that these municipalities are not classified as public utilities themselves. The bill amends several sections of existing law to reflect these changes, including the addition of language that ensures municipalities can carry out their objectives without restriction and the removal of outdated provisions regarding the ownership of electrical systems.

Key amendments include the insertion of provisions that allow cities and towns to construct and maintain various electricity generation facilities, as well as the specification that revenue bonds can only be issued for improvements on municipal property. Additionally, the definition of "public utility" is updated to exclude municipal operations under certain agreements, and the term "customer-generator" is clarified to exclude municipalities engaged in wholesale energy production. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
