County authority to dissolve museum boards-clarification.
HB 15 clarifies that county commissioners cannot dissolve archaeological, geological, and historical museum boards under general authority to dissolve county-created boards. The bill amends Wyoming law (W.S. 18-3-525) to explicitly exclude these specific museum boards from the dissolution authority previously applied to other county boards. This change directly affects county commissioners and the boards of those three types of museums by preventing unilateral dissolution without separate legal authority. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, as specified in its text.
