Budget sessions-bill introduction.

Maddy summaryThis joint resolution proposes removing a constitutional requirement that bills other than the budget need a two-thirds vote to be introduced during Wyoming's budget sessions. Currently, such non-budget bills cannot be considered without this supermajority vote. The amendment would eliminate this rule and remove outdated language about introducing reapportionment bills during budget sessions. If approved by voters, it would change how the legislature operates during budget sessions by allowing standard introduction procedures for all bills.

Proportional vacancy nominations.

Maddy summaryHB 122 changes how Wyoming fills vacancies in certain elected offices by requiring proportional voting in nomination processes. It mandates that state central committee members' votes for vacancies in U.S. House seats, other state offices (excluding governor, legislature, and judges), and multi-county legislative districts must be weighted by each county's population relative to the state total, using the most recent federal census data. For multi-county legislative vacancies, county commissioners' votes must instead reflect the population of the legislative district within each county. The bill, effective July 1, 2022, applies only to nominations for remaining terms and does not alter the appointment process for vacancies.

State retirement plans-adjustments.

Maddy summaryHB 111 requires the Wyoming Retirement Board to study and report on public employee retirement plans, including those for state employees, highway patrol officers, game wardens, and firefighters. The report must examine inflation's impact on retirees since 2012 (when cost-of-living adjustments were restricted), analyze plan funding levels, and recommend adjustments to benefit payments while keeping plans financially sustainable. It directly affects retirees who have not received cost-of-living increases since 2012 and will inform potential future legislation. The bill, introduced in 2022 but failed committee passage, mandates the report be submitted by September 2022.
