Bill > HB0225

This bill creates a new law (W.S. 31-5-513) that prevents local ordinances from restricting street parking duration in two specific scenarios related to legislative meetings. First, within the boundaries of the Wyoming State Capitol complex, parking time limits are suspended when the state legislature or its committees are actively meeting. Second, within a half-mile radius of any official legislative meeting location, parking time limits are also lifted during the period of active meetings. This means that people attending legislative meetings, whether at the capitol or in community locations, will be allowed to park on the street for unlimited periods without being constrained by typical local parking regulations. The law will go into effect on July 1, 2025, providing a clear timeline for implementation. The bill aims to make it more convenient for citizens, legislators, and staff to attend legislative meetings by removing parking time restrictions that might otherwise discourage participation or create logistical challenges.
