The bill mandates that cities and towns in Wyoming must obtain approval from qualified electors before establishing and maintaining paid parking meters or zones. Specifically, it amends W.S. 15-1-103(a) by adding a new paragraph (li) that allows governing bodies to implement paid parking only after a majority vote from the electorate. The bill stipulates that the vote must occur during an election conducted in accordance with existing laws for bond issues, and any ballot must include a description of the proposed paid parking locations.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that this requirement applies to all existing, planned, and future paid parking meters or zones starting from the effective date of July 1, 2025. This legislative change aims to enhance local governance by ensuring that residents have a say in the implementation of paid parking systems within their communities.
