Wyoming Bill on Cleaning Up Illegal Drug Labs
Last scannedOct 19, 2026, 2:19 AM
In one sentence
This bill would classify the discovery of hazardous materials from illegal drug labs as an emergency incident and establish rules for cleaning up the property.
What it does
- Defines the discovery of hazardous materials related to clandestine laboratory operations as an incident requiring response under the Wyoming Emergency Response Act.
- Requires the state emergency response commission to set standards for incident response and remediation to make former clandestine laboratory sites safe for re-entry, habitation, or use.
- Grants the incident commander authority to declare a site uninhabitable and secure it until the threat to public health and safety has ended.
- Requires local law enforcement to provide written notice to property owners if there is no immediate and substantial threat to public health.
- Gives property owners 90 days to remediate the property after receiving written notice.
- Allows owners to request an extension of time if they are making a good faith effort to remediate and have a practical time schedule.
- Allows owners to appeal a denial of an extension to the governing body of the local law enforcement agency within 15 days.
Who it affects
- Property owners who discover illegal drug labs on their land.
- Local law enforcement agencies acting as emergency responders.
- The Wyoming State Emergency Response Commission.
Limits and unknowns
- The bill did not pass in the 2007 session, so these rules were not adopted as law.
- The bill provides for reimbursement of response costs but does not specify the exact amounts or the detailed process for claiming them in the provided text.
- The bill references 'reasonable precautions' in the context of liability exceptions but does not define specific actions that constitute these precautions.
