Eminent domain study.
HB 314 requires Wyoming's joint corporations, elections, and political subdivisions interim committee to study how eminent domain is used in the state during the 2025 legislative interim. The committee must examine seven specific issues, including fair compensation for property taken, restoration of land after easements end, liability for damages, authorized users of eminent domain, and types of land that can be acquired. The study will inform potential future legislation, with a report due for consideration during the 2026 legislative session. This bill does not change current law but mandates a review of existing practices.
