Sponsored by: Senator(s) Boner, Bebout, Hicks, Peterson and Von Flatern and Representative(s) Blake, Larsen, Laursen, Lindholm and Miller A BILL for AN ACT relating to the administration of government; making legislative findings regarding the federal government's implementation of the National Historic Preservation Act; and providing for an effective date. Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Wyoming: Section 1 . W.S. 9 ‑ 14 ‑ 102 by creating a new subsection (d) is amended to read : 9 ‑ 14 ‑ 102 . F ederal agency actions ; findings; challenges . ( d ) The legislature finds that while the National Historic Preservation Act is vital to preserving our history, t he federal government's implementation of the National Historic Preservation Act can undermine the rights of private property owners, inhibit economic activity critical to the state of Wyoming and suppress revenue to the state, local and federal governments. The legislature further finds that these ne gative effects can be limited if a federal agency refrains from imposing any delay or restriction on a permit based on any viewshed or similar requirement on private property . Section 2 . This act is effective immediately upon completion of all acts necessary for a bill to become law as provided by Article 4, Section 8 of the Wyoming Constitution. (END) 1 SF0101
