SF 134 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Industrial siting-wildlife mitigation.

This bill requires industrial facility developers to pay wildlife impact costs to eligible groups (like conservation organizations) when siting projects that harm wildlife habitats. Developers must apply to the Industrial Siting Council, providing evidence of specific wildlife impacts and mitigation plans. The Council then reviews this evidence, determines the payment amount based on unmitigated harm, and ensures funds are used solely for reducing those impacts. Payments are made to the state treasurer, who distributes them directly to the eligible groups for habitat restoration or conservation work. The bill applies to all new industrial facilities requiring state siting permits under Wyoming law.
