State land lease deficiencies-cure process.

HB 22 establishes a formal process for resolving issues with renewal applications for state grazing and agricultural land leases in Wyoming. It requires the Office of State Lands and Investments to notify current lessees of incomplete applications, missed deadlines, or other compliance concerns at least 40 days before lease expiration, giving them 30 days to correct the issues. If unresolved, the lease becomes vacant and is offered to new applicants through standard bidding. This bill directly affects existing lessees of state lands who fail to meet renewal requirements, replacing previous procedures with clearer timelines and accountability. The changes took effect July 1, 2023.
