Joint powers boards-natural gas service.

Maddy summaryHB 101 allows joint powers boards (formed by two or more Wyoming municipalities) to create and operate natural gas systems. It directly affects local governments and joint powers entities that want to provide natural gas service, including extending systems beyond city limits. The bill amends Wyoming law to exempt these municipal or joint powers utility systems from certain public utility regulations outlined in Chapter 37. This change became effective July 1, 2019, enabling collaborative infrastructure development for natural gas service.

Oil and gas drilling units-calculation of owner shares.

Maddy summaryThis bill (SF 36) amends Wyoming law to adjust how oil and gas drilling operators recover costs from nonconsenting owners in drilling units. It increases the recovery limit for drilling costs from 200% to 300% of the nonconsenting owner's share and raises the equipment cost recovery from 110% to 125%. The change applies to all pooling orders entered on or after July 1, 2019, directly affecting oil and gas owners who choose not to participate in a drilling unit. The amendment clarifies that operators can recover these higher percentages of costs before distributing production revenue.

Protection of children-child endangerment amendments.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Wyoming law to strengthen protections for children under 16 by specifically prohibiting caregivers from exposing children to methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, or LSD in any setting (including manufacturing, storage, or use locations). It clarifies that "in the presence of a child" includes situations where a caregiver knows a child is present and may witness domestic violence or drug activity. The law also limits temporary protective custody to 48 hours for the affected child and 24 hours for siblings in the same household, requiring court orders for extended custody. These changes became effective July 1, 2019, directly impacting caregivers, law enforcement, and child protective agencies.
