Governmental immunity-road reconstruction and maintenance.
This bill (SF 94) modifies Wyoming's Governmental Claims Act to clarify when local governments can be held liable for injuries or property damage caused by road maintenance or reconstruction failures. It establishes that a local government becomes liable only if a claimant proves: (1) the road needed significant repair (a reasonable person would foresee danger), (2) the government received written notice before the incident, (3) the government failed to take reasonable steps to address the issue within a reasonable time, and (4) the claimant suffered actual damages. The bill directly affects residents injured by unsafe roads and local governments responsible for road upkeep. It applies to all claims arising after July 1, 2026, and specifies that claims follow standard government claims procedures.
