The bill amends W.S. 16-3-114(a) to specify limitations on the judicial review of agency actions in Wyoming. It removes the requirement for administrative remedies to be exhausted and clarifies that any person adversely affected by a final agency decision is entitled to judicial review, provided they meet certain conditions. These conditions include that judicial review must occur in specific district courts based on the location of the injury or the agency action, adherence to procedural rules set by the Wyoming Supreme Court, and the exhaustion of all administrative remedies before seeking judicial review. Additionally, the right to judicial review does not apply to public employment actions unless they are final decisions in contested cases or otherwise provided by law.

The bill also establishes that it will apply to agency actions and inactions taken on or after July 1, 2025, and will become effective on that same date. This legislative change aims to clarify the process and limitations surrounding judicial review of agency actions, ensuring that individuals understand the necessary steps and conditions for seeking such review.
