Maddy summarySF 9 exempts fire protection districts and water and sewer districts in Wyoming from the requirement to undergo an annual financial audit under the Uniform Municipal Fiscal Procedures Act. Previously, these districts were mandated to have an annual audit by a certified public accountant, but this bill removes that specific obligation. The districts must still comply with other financial oversight provisions, such as those outlined in Wyoming Statute 9-1-507(a)(iii). The exemption takes effect immediately upon the bill's enactment.
Maddy summaryWyoming's HB 171 legalizes hemp production and processing by setting a 0.3% THC limit (on a dry weight basis) for hemp and hemp products. It requires licenses for producers and processors (with background checks and $500 annual fees), while allowing unrestricted possession and use of hemp products by all residents. The bill establishes enforcement through annual inspections, corrective action plans for violations, and misdemeanor penalties for intentional breaches. It also mandates a state regulatory plan, authorizes tribal agreements, and repeals conflicting laws.
