Sage grouse compensatory mitigation-amendments.

Wyoming's SF 179 modifies rules for compensatory mitigation related to greater sage-grouse habitat. It allows operators (like energy or development companies) to use their own mitigation measures on equivalent lands within Wyoming instead of purchasing credits, requiring them to maintain responsibility for these measures throughout the impact period. The bill prohibits using eminent domain for mitigation activities and mandates the Board of Land Commissioners to create implementing rules. This law, effective July 1, 2025, directly affects businesses with land impacts in sage-grouse habitat areas.
