The bill establishes a framework for local government entities in Wyoming to adhere to specific timelines when reviewing land use requests related to property development or improvement. It mandates that local governments provide written notice to applicants within 15 days of receiving a request, indicating whether the request is complete or incomplete. If the request is complete and falls within the permitted zoning use, the local government must approve or deny the request within 60 days, unless an extension is agreed upon or additional approvals from state or federal agencies are required. The bill also stipulates that if a local government fails to meet these deadlines, the request will be automatically approved.

Additionally, the bill introduces penalties for local government entities that do not comply with the established timelines, including a 10% reduction in fees for applicants if requirements are imposed after approval. It specifies that the act will apply to applications filed on or after July 1, 2025, and will take effect on the same date. The bill aims to streamline the permitting process and enhance transparency in local government operations regarding land use requests.
