Environmental quality council-voting amendments.
Wyoming's HB 111 amends voting procedures for the Environmental Quality Council. It specifies that members who recuse themselves, are absent, unable to attend due to illness, or vacant council positions are not counted as participating in votes. This clarifies that a quorum requires four members physically present, and decisions require majority vote among those participating. The bill took effect July 1, 2019, and directly affects council members voting on environmental matters.
