Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the revision of statutes and other legislative enactments; correcting statutory references and language resulting from inadvertent errors and omissions in previously adopted legislation; amending obsolete references; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill makes numerous technical corrections to Wyoming statutes, primarily by updating references to the Wyoming Governmental Claims Act (W.S. 1-39-101 through 1-39-120), which is the law governing lawsuits against state and local governments in Wyoming. These changes aim to ensure that existing laws accurately reflect the current provisions of the Wyoming Governmental Claims Act, correcting outdated or incorrect citations that may have resulted from previous legislative errors or omissions. The bill also adjusts the defined scope of "this act" within certain statutes to align with the updated Wyoming Governmental Claims Act. Additionally, it corrects a minor typographical error in the definition of a "subdivision" versus a "subparagraph" and clarifies that certain provisions do not apply to claims covered by the Wyoming Governmental Claims Act. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
