County zoning authority-amendments.
This bill (SF 42) clarifies and updates Wyoming counties' zoning authority under state law. It specifically allows counties to regulate mineral extraction (excluding sand, gravel, and construction materials) in unincorporated areas while preventing counties from restricting such activity. The bill also ensures private schools meeting specific criteria (50+ students, nonprofit, certified facility design) are treated similarly to public schools under zoning rules. These changes take effect July 1, 2026, and do not affect existing leases or agreements made before that date.
