The bill proposes significant changes to the regulation of public utilities in Wyoming by repealing the low-carbon energy standard requirements and making conforming amendments to existing laws. Specifically, it amends definitions in W.S. 37-1-101 and W.S. 37-2-134, including the removal of references to the now-repealed low-carbon energy standards in W.S. 37-18-101 and W.S. 37-18-102. The definitions of "dispatchable" and "reliable" electricity are updated to clarify their meanings without reference to the previous standards. Additionally, the bill repeals specific provisions that previously governed the requirements for public utilities regarding low-carbon electricity generation.

Furthermore, the bill mandates the Wyoming Public Service Commission to establish rules necessary for implementing these changes. The effective date of the act is immediate upon completion of the legislative process as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution. This legislative action reflects a shift away from low-carbon energy mandates, potentially impacting the future landscape of energy generation and regulation in the state.
