Statutory standing committees-federal review.
HB 129 establishes a new standing committee within Wyoming's legislature called the "Joint and Standing Committee on Federal Review." This committee will review federal laws, regulations, and actions to determine if they infringe on Wyoming's state sovereignty or violate the U.S. Constitution's specific enumerated powers of the federal government. The committee must report its findings and recommendations to the legislature, including suggesting new state legislation if needed. This bill directly affects Wyoming's legislative process by creating a dedicated body to monitor and respond to federal actions.
