Select Committee on Blockchain and Emerging Technologies.
Wyoming's HB 17 renames the existing "Select Committee on Blockchain, Financial Technology and Digital Innovation Technology" to the "Select Committee on Blockchain and Emerging Technologies" and clarifies its duties. The committee must develop expertise on these technologies, propose legislation to support blockchain and digital innovation (excluding Title 13 matters), and recommend policies to attract tech companies to Wyoming. The bill also requires the state director to submit reports on Wyoming stable tokens to this committee and the Joint Minerals, Business and Economic Development Committee. This is a procedural change to the committee's structure and responsibilities, not a new law affecting citizens or businesses directly.
