Bill > HB0240

This bill repeals Wyoming Statute 9-1-304, which previously authorized the appointment of an acting secretary of state. By removing this specific statutory provision, the bill eliminates the legal mechanism for temporarily filling the secretary of state position through an acting appointment. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, which provides ample time for the legislature and state government to prepare for and understand the implications of removing the acting secretary of state appointment process. Without additional context from the full statute text, the precise reasons for this repeal are not immediately clear, but it suggests potential changes to how temporary leadership vacancies in the secretary of state's office will be handled in the future.
