Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the administration of government; providing legislative findings; establishing a process by which the state of Wyoming may enter an order of nullification to nullify unconstitutional federal actions; authorizing petitions for seeking nullification; specifying duties of the secretary of state and legislative leadership; authorizing rulemaking; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a process for the state of Wyoming to nullify unconstitutional federal actions. It allows the governor, the legislature, state courts, or a petition of cities, towns, counties, or the people to declare a federal action as exceeding the federal government's constitutional authority. Once nullified, state and local officials are prohibited from assisting in the enforcement of the nullified federal action, and state funds cannot be used to enforce it. The bill also outlines the criteria the legislature must consider in determining the constitutionality of a federal action, and specifies that the procedures for nullification can be used to challenge federal actions enacted before, on, or after the effective date of the bill.
