Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the administration of government; providing an expiration date for executive orders as specified; specifying applicability; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a new time limitation for executive orders issued by the governor of Wyoming. Specifically, when a new governor takes office, any executive orders issued by the previous governor will automatically expire 30 days after that governor leaves office, unless the newly elected governor explicitly extends those orders through a new executive order. This means that each new governor will have the opportunity to review and decide whether to continue or discontinue the executive orders of their predecessor, with a default expiration of 30 days. The bill will apply to all executive orders currently in effect or issued on or after July 1, 2025, and will become effective on that same date. The purpose of this legislation appears to be ensuring that executive orders are periodically reviewed and reaffirmed, preventing potentially outdated or unnecessary orders from remaining in effect indefinitely, and giving each new governor more control over the state's executive directives.
