Disposition of water rights-amendments.

This bill requires land developers (subdividers) in Wyoming to submit proof to the state engineer about how they will handle water rights before a subdivision permit is approved. It mandates one of three specific actions: voluntarily abandoning water rights, changing water use outside the subdivision, or providing an approved plan for distributing water rights to new lots. Developers must also notify buyers that Wyoming law does not recognize riparian rights to stream flow and disclose any potential impacts on existing water systems. The bill was introduced in 2024 but failed to pass after a 17-14 vote in the Senate.
