What does this bill do?

Amends the boundary survey requirements for Wyoming cities and towns to make the survey process permissive rather than mandatory.

Changes the requirement that a city or town governing body conduct a boundary survey when boundaries are uncertain or after annexation from mandatory to permissive, allowing the governing body to decide whether to provide for a survey by ordinance. (W.S. 15-1-413(a), Sec. 1)
Maintains existing requirements that when a survey is conducted, boundaries must be marked with substantial monuments and the surveyor must file field notes and a description with the city or town clerk, which are then filed with the county clerk. (W.S. 15-1-413(a), Sec. 1)
