Instream flow amendments.
HB 334 would allow private individuals or entities to own water rights specifically for instream flow purposes (water flowing in rivers for environmental health), currently restricted to state ownership. It amends Wyoming law to remove the prohibition against private ownership of such rights and permits the sale, transfer, or conveyance of these rights under defined restrictions. The bill requires that any acquired or changed water rights for instream flows be limited to a specific river segment, with the original priority date preserved. This change would take effect on July 1, 2025, if passed.
