The bill amends Wyoming Statute 1-21-1202(a) regarding the duties of owners and renters of residential rental properties. It removes the provision that allowed parties to agree in writing that a rental unit could lack operational utilities, specifically electrical, heating, and plumbing systems, as well as hot and cold running water. This change mandates that all residential rental units must be maintained in a safe and sanitary condition fit for human habitation, ensuring that essential utilities are operational.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the requirement for operational utilities does not apply to seasonal rental units, such as summer cabins, which are not intended to have these amenities. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
