Wyoming HB0192 mandates electric utilities to create wildfire mitigation plans and limits liability for wildfire damages.

Wyoming HB0192 requires electric utilities to prepare wildfire mitigation plans detailing risk areas, vegetation management, and de-energizing procedures. The plans must be approved by the Public Service Commission, which can also authorize cost recovery for plan implementation. The bill limits liability for electric utilities, allowing recovery of economic losses only if the utility failed to comply with the approved plan or acted with gross negligence. It also mandates annual reporting on plan compliance and notice to local entities upon plan submission.
