Commercial filing system.
HB 70 authorizes Wyoming's Secretary of State to develop and implement a blockchain-based commercial filing system for business-related documents by December 31, 2020. The system would replace current filing methods for documents required under Wyoming statutes (including business registrations, annual reports, and certain financial filings) and must include secure technology, an application programming interface, and robust security measures. The bill appropriates $1 million from the general fund for implementation and requires the Secretary to study potential filing fees, reporting findings to the legislature by August 2020. This directly affects businesses, registered agents, and attorneys who submit filings with the Secretary of State.
