The bill amends existing laws regarding residential rental properties in Wyoming, specifically clarifying the definitions and applicability of regulations for owners and renters. It defines a "residential rental unit" as a renter's principal place of residence that is rented for a minimum period of six months. Additionally, the bill establishes that the state of Wyoming preempts the regulation of residential rental units, asserting that the provisions within this article will serve as the primary remedy for disputes between owners and renters, rather than the exclusive remedy.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits cities, towns, counties, or other political subdivisions from regulating the leasing of residential rental units or requiring owners to register these units or pay registration fees. However, it clarifies that this prohibition does not affect land use plans and zoning ordinances. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
