Minimum easement standards.
HB 119 establishes minimum standards for property easements acquired through eminent domain in Wyoming. It requires condemners (like government agencies or utilities) to provide 30 days' notice to local officials before taking property, clarifies landowners aren't liable for most issues arising from the easement (only intentional acts), and mandates condemnors cover reclamation costs after the easement ends. The bill also ensures property improvements are included in compensation calculations and restricts existing easements to their original purpose unless amended. It applies to condemnation actions starting July 1, 2025, and doesn't affect current contracts.
