Housing

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.

HB 2, the Fast Track Permits Act, requires cities, towns, and counties in Wyoming to review residential building permit applications within strict deadlines. Local governments must notify applicants within 15 days if an application is incomplete and must approve or deny complete applications within 30 days (excluding delays for clarification or state/federal approvals). If deadlines are missed, permits are automatically approved as submitted the next day. The bill directly affects homebuilders applying for permits for detached single-family homes, townhouses, or small multi-unit projects under specific size and code limits, and the local governments that process these applications.
