Charter school leasing.
HB 21 modifies Wyoming's rules for charter school facility leasing. It removes the requirement that charter schools must operate successfully for three years to get reimbursement for leasing costs. The bill also changes how school districts provide space: charter schools no longer need to pay rent for state-approved, adequate facilities included in district facility plans, and the state construction department now reviews space availability. This directly affects charter schools (by reducing costs and access barriers) and school districts (by changing facility-sharing duties). The policy change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
