Eminent domain-energy collector systems.

Wyoming's SF 10 limits the use of eminent domain (government power to take private land) for energy infrastructure projects like power lines and collector systems connected to commercial electricity facilities. It requires developers to first negotiate and secure agreements from at least 85% of landowners or 85% of the land area before seeking court approval for condemnation. Compensation must match what was offered to other landowners involved in negotiations, not just standard market value. The bill excludes public utilities with existing permits and certain transmission infrastructure, and applies to new projects starting July 1, 2024.
