The bill amends existing legislation regarding industrial siting projects in Wyoming by requiring that individuals obtain a permit from the council and, if applicable, permission from the board of county commissioners before commencing construction of a facility. Specifically, it introduces new requirements for obtaining a favorable vote from the county commissioners at a public meeting if a separate permit is not mandated under existing county laws. The language also clarifies that permits must be issued in accordance with the relevant chapters of the law, ensuring that all facilities are constructed, operated, and maintained in compliance with the terms of their permits.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will apply to industrial siting projects initiated on or after its effective date and mandates the industrial siting council to create necessary rules for implementation. The act is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all legislative processes required for a bill to become law in Wyoming.
