Maddy summaryHB 94 requires all Wyoming elections to use paper ballots counted manually in public view, replacing electronic voting systems. It establishes statewide standards for ballot design (must be human-readable), secure storage (sealed containers under 24/7 video for 2 years), and chain-of-custody records for all ballots. County clerks must publicly document ballot counts within one hour of completion and maintain video recordings of counting for 60 months. The bill directly affects all Wyoming voters and election officials by mandating transparent, manual counting processes and repealing prior authorizations for electronic tabulation.

Maddy summaryWyoming's HB 119 prohibits state courts, tribunals, and agencies from applying foreign law (including international legal systems) that violates constitutional rights guaranteed by the U.S. and Wyoming constitutions, such as equal protection or free speech. The bill voids any court ruling based partly on such foreign law, but includes key exceptions for tribal law, religious matters, voluntary agreements to use foreign law, and federal treaties. It also prevents venue transfers in civil cases that would result in applying prohibited foreign law. The law takes effect July 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryWyoming's HB 88 prohibits state and local government entities from using public funds to lobby lawmakers or support lobbying activities. The bill directly affects all state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, and special districts (but excludes for-profit contractors). Key provisions require annual certifications of compliance with the ban, forbid paying dues to groups that lobby, and allow taxpayers to sue to stop violations. Enforcement includes potential court actions by the Attorney General or affected residents, with penalties for noncompliance. The law takes effect July 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 13 would allow human-use ivermectin to be sold as an over-the-counter medication in Wyoming without a prescription or consultation with a healthcare provider. The bill directly affects pharmacies and consumers by removing current prescription requirements for this medication. Key provisions define "over-the-counter medication" and specify that ivermectin cannot be classified as a dangerous substance or a controlled substance under existing laws. The law would take effect on July 1, 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 156 requires voters in Wyoming to prove they have been a bona fide resident of the state for at least 30 days before an election. It mandates that voters provide documentation verifying their residency when registering and prohibits registration based on documents showing noncitizen status. The bill defines "proof of residence" and directs the Secretary of State to establish acceptable documents through rulemaking. This affects all individuals registering to vote in Wyoming elections by adding a residency verification step to the registration process.

Maddy summaryHB 133 prohibits cities, towns, counties, and the state of Wyoming from implementing or designating "sanctuary" policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. It specifically bans local governments from adopting rules that prevent officials from sharing immigration status information with federal law enforcement or declaring their jurisdiction a "sanctuary." Violations could result in withholding state funding from non-compliant localities and criminal penalties of up to 10 years in prison or $20,000 fines for local officials refusing to share such information. The bill also explicitly prohibits the governor from designating Wyoming as a sanctuary state.

Maddy summaryHB 318 clarifies the Wyoming Secretary of State's duties for verifying voter registration data. It requires matching voter registration with driver's license records (including checking for noncitizen status) and using the federal SAVE program to confirm U.S. citizenship for all registered voters. The bill mandates that the Department of Transportation provide monthly lists of noncitizens applying for licenses to the Secretary of State, who may share this with county clerks. Voters flagged for potential ineligibility must receive a 20-day notice before registration cancellation, with the option to request their name remain on the list. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 165 prohibits ranked choice voting in Wyoming elections by amending state election codes to require ballots to specify only one vote per office. It voids any existing or future local ordinances allowing ranked choice voting and mandates ballot language stating "Vote for one" for single-office races. The bill directly affects all state and local elections, including county and municipal races, by eliminating ranked choice voting as an option. It takes effect July 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a new alternative teaching certification pathway for K-12 teachers in Wyoming. It requires alternative certification programs to meet specific criteria: operating in at least five states, having run for 10+ years, requiring subject and teaching methods exams, and having certified 10,000+ teachers. The certification would be limited to the exact subject areas and grade levels the applicant completed through the program. This directly affects new teachers seeking certification through approved alternative programs, not current certified educators.

Maddy summaryThis non-binding resolution requests Wyoming's Governor to prioritize promoting the state's existing stable power sources - coal, natural gas, uranium, and hydroelectric - over taxpayer-funded wind and solar projects. It directs the Governor to oppose subsidies for commercial wind/solar generation and instead advocate for Wyoming's "stable dispatchable base load energy" exports to other states and globally. The resolution does not create new laws but urges a shift in energy policy focus. It directly affects state energy promotion efforts and the Governor's role in shaping Wyoming's energy strategy.
