The bill amends the judicial review process for agency actions in Wyoming, specifically addressing the conditions under which individuals can seek judicial review. It removes the previous requirement for the exhaustion of administrative remedies and the absence of any statutory or common-law provisions that limit judicial review. Instead, it establishes a clear framework that includes several conditions: judicial review must occur in specific district courts based on the location of the injury or the administrative action, all administrative remedies must be exhausted prior to seeking judicial review, and there must be no existing legal provisions that preclude or limit such review. Additionally, the right to judicial review does not apply to public employment actions unless they meet certain criteria.

The bill also specifies that it will apply to agency actions and inactions occurring on or after July 1, 2025, and it will take effect on that same date. This legislative change aims to clarify the judicial review process and ensure that individuals have a defined pathway to challenge agency decisions while maintaining certain limitations regarding public employment matters.
