Wyoming transportation department gets state land

Effective immediately, the law directs Wyoming’s health department to transfer surface rights to about 28.94 acres to the transportation department. This Fremont County land is held for the Wyoming State Training School. The health department must first consult Lander, the Board of Land Commissioners, and the Office of State Lands and Investments. The transportation department pays no purchase price but must pay survey, title-insurance, and closing costs. Other property rights and existing easements, setbacks, and recorded restrictions remain. The transportation department must report to the Joint Transportation, Highways and Military Affairs Interim Committee during finalization and after both authorized land transfers.

Wyoming opens state land for housing

The law immediately allows Wyoming’s health department to sell surface rights to about 90.87 acres in Fremont County for housing. The land is held for the Wyoming State Training School; other property rights and existing easements, setbacks, and recorded restrictions remain. The department must consult Lander and the state’s Board of Land Commissioners and Office of State Lands and Investments. It can divide the land among multiple sales, following Wyoming’s state land sale process. Buyers must use the land only for residential housing and pay survey, title-insurance, and closing costs. Each sale must let the state collect damages if the buyer breaks the housing-use promise; no damage amount is specified.
