This bill mandates that cities and towns in Wyoming must obtain approval from qualified electors before establishing and maintaining paid parking meters or zones. The governing bodies of these municipalities are granted the power to create paid parking systems, but only after a majority vote from the electorate during an election, which must follow the same procedures as those for submitting a bond issue. The bill specifies that any ballot proposition related to paid parking must include a description of the proposed locations for these meters or zones.
Additionally, the bill applies to all existing, planned, and future paid parking meters or zones, ensuring that the requirement for voter approval is consistent across all instances. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
