Special districts-animal control districts.

HB 148 allows Wyoming counties to establish animal control districts to manage local animal control services. Each district would be governed by a six-member board of directors elected by voters (with staggered terms), responsible for operating shelters, enforcing animal control regulations, and holding monthly public meetings. The bill requires counties to hold a voter referendum to approve a tax levy of up to one mill (0.1%) on property taxes to fund the district, with all revenue deposited into a dedicated fund. It affects county residents and property owners by creating a structured local system for animal control programs, which may include joint efforts with municipalities.
