HB 69 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Department of health-land transfers.

HB 69 transfers two specific parcels of land from Wyoming's Department of Health to other entities. The first parcel (28.94 acres) in Fremont County is conveyed to the Wyoming Department of Transportation, and the second parcel (90.87 acres) is transferred to the City of Lander for residential housing use. The transfers involve only the surface estate, require no payment of consideration (though closing costs are paid by the recipient entities), and must comply with existing easements and restrictions. This bill is purely procedural, authorizing land conveyances without creating new policy or affecting broader state land management.

MODERATE

The bill was revised to expand the scope of land transfers from the Department of Health to include two separate parcels: one to the Wyoming Department of Transportation and another to the City of Lander. The revised version adds specific legal requirements for the Lander transfer, including authorization for multiple conveyances and a mandate that the City of Lander be consulted alongside existing state agencies.

Scope change

The bill now covers two distinct land parcels instead of one, expanding the Department of Health's authority to transfer land to both a state transportation department and a municipal city.

SCOPE

Added a second land transfer provision (subsection b) authorizing the Department of Health to convey a 90.87-acre parcel to the City of Lander.

ELIGIBILITY

Modified the first transfer to explicitly include the City of Lander as a required consultation partner alongside the Board of Land Commissioners.

REQUIREMENT

Added new subsections requiring that the Lander transfer be completed in accordance with specific state statutes and allowing for multiple separate conveyances of the land.

FISCAL

Clarified that the Department of Transportation must pay for survey, title insurance, and closing costs for the land it receives, while no consideration is required for the transfer to the City of Lander.

TECHNICAL

Removed detailed legal descriptions of a third, smaller parcel that was present in the original draft but excluded from the final enrolled version.
