Bill > HB0065

This bill establishes a comprehensive process for publishing and maintaining executive orders in Wyoming. It requires the secretary of state to preserve and publish all executive orders issued by the governor on their official website, with a clear definition of what constitutes an executive order. The bill specifically defines an executive order as a proclamation or order executed by the governor to implement law, while explicitly excluding certain types of gubernatorial proclamations such as those calling special legislative sessions, election-related proclamations, and constitutional amendment adoptions. The legislation mandates that not only future executive orders will be published, but also requires the secretary of state to locate and publish previously issued executive orders, including those that have already expired, on their official website. The new requirements will become effective on July 1, 2025, providing state officials ample time to prepare for and implement the new documentation and publication standards. This bill enhances governmental transparency by creating a centralized, publicly accessible repository of executive orders.
