Boundary survey amendments.
SF 171 amends Wyoming law to update requirements for cities and towns conducting boundary surveys when their boundaries are unclear or after annexation. It requires surveyors to mark boundaries with substantial monuments, describe them using physical landmarks and measurements (metes and bounds), and reference U.S. survey lines where possible. The survey report and field notes must be filed with both the city/town clerk and the county clerk. This procedural change affects all Wyoming municipalities needing boundary clarification and takes effect July 1, 2025.

MINOR
The bill was finalized and enrolled for signing, with minor text corrections to fix a grammatical error ('shall may' changed to 'shall') and a formatting issue ('When If' corrected to 'When the'). The substantive policy content regarding boundary surveys for cities and towns remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Corrected a grammatical error in Section 1 where 'shall may' was changed to 'shall' to clarify that the governing body is required to provide for a survey.
Fixed a formatting error in Section 1 where 'When If' was corrected to 'When the' to ensure the sentence reads properly.
Updated document headers to reflect the bill's final enrolled status, including act number 89 and legislative session details.
