Candidates for state legislature-residency requirement.

HB 41 proposes a change to Wyoming's residency rules for candidates running for the state legislature. It clarifies that candidates must have lived in their specific legislative district for at least one year before the election. However, if new district boundaries aren't finalized before filing opens, candidates may instead show one year of residency in any county within that district. The bill failed to pass in the legislature (40-20 vote) and would have taken effect July 1, 2024, if enacted. This is a procedural eligibility rule affecting only individuals seeking legislative office.
