Wildfires one-call amendment.
This bill exempts emergency wildfire suppression activities from Wyoming's Underground Facilities Notification Act, which normally requires utility companies to notify before digging. It directly affects utility workers and emergency responders who need to quickly access underground infrastructure during wildfires. The key provision adds a specific exemption (subsection (k)) to the existing law, removing the notification requirement for wildfire suppression efforts. The exemption took effect on July 1, 2022.
