Secretary of state-expedited filings.
HB 79 allows Wyoming's Secretary of State to charge a fee - up to $5,000 - to expedite the filing of certain documents under specific statutes (titles 17, 34, and 40, chapters 1-2). It directly affects individuals or entities filing documents like business registrations or land records with the Secretary of State's office. The bill establishes a fee structure based on actual costs, but clarifies that expedited filings do not change the document's official filing date or timing. The law takes effect July 1, 2024.
