The bill amends existing laws related to public utilities in Wyoming, specifically addressing the judicial review process and the stay of proceedings by the public service commission. It introduces new provisions that allow a person adversely affected by the commission's decisions to seek judicial review, with the added stipulation that if a public utility requests judicial review of a general rate case decision, the commission may stay related proceedings until the judicial review is resolved. However, this stay does not apply to cases based on the commission's application of facts or evidence.

Additionally, the bill specifies that any person interested in a commission order may apply for a rehearing, which will stay the effect of the order only concerning the rehearing application until a decision is made. The act applies to all requests and applications filed with the public service commission, regardless of when the related litigation was initiated, and it takes effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
