Public utilities-liability exemption.

Wyoming's SF 108 exempts public utilities (like electricity, gas, or water providers) from civil liability for property damage caused by wildfires or other natural disasters ("acts of God"), unless the utility was negligent, reckless, or intentionally caused the event. The bill specifically covers economic losses, such as disruptions to essential services, but excludes cases where the utility's negligence directly caused the damage. It clarifies that this exemption overrides conflicting parts of Wyoming's existing Governmental Claims Act. The law, effective July 1, 2019, codifies pre-existing common law regarding utility liability for natural disaster-related damages.
