The chief clerk and majority floor leader led the consent and roll‑call process.

Consent list motion: the majority floor leader moved the 3rd‑reading consent list including House Bills 14, 17, 82 and 157. The body initially approved moving the consent list (voice/consent), with the chief clerk recording 59 ayes and 3 excused on the overall list.

Individual results called thereafter included recorded votes where members changed positions on specific bills:
- House Bill 14 (Solid waste / cease and transfer prioritization): recorded as passed on the consent list; final tally on passage recorded in the session as 59 ayes, 3 excused.
- House Bill 17 (Career technical education equipment grants): passed on consent list; recorded 59 ayes, 3 excused.
- House Bill 82 (provider enrollment standards / insurance code revisions): final recorded vote 55 ayes, 4 no, 3 excused after members were given an opportunity to change their consent votes.
- House Bill 157 (proof of voter citizenship / elections): final recorded vote 53 ayes, 6 no, 3 excused.

Separately, the House read several bills on second and third reading during the session (for example, House Bills 11, 32, 45, 73, 91, 118, and others); a number of those were ordered to third reading or passed, as recorded in individual items (see separate articles for debated bills). The clerk’s readouts list dozens of introduced bills earlier in the session that were assigned to committees on first reading.

These routine consent and third‑reading procedures allowed the House to advance multiple measures quickly; members retained the ability to remove items from consent for separate debate. The clerk recorded the outcomes for the consent items and subsequent individual votes as noted above.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Floor Session-Day 5, January 20, 2025-AM","oneSentenceSummary","On Jan. 20 the Wyoming House passed a consent list of bills and recorded final third‑reading votes on several measures; key consent items passed and several third‑reading bills were ordered or passed with recorded tallies.","taxTitle","House of Representative, Committees, Legislative, Wyoming","taxId",30484,"location","Wyoming","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6380256,"House passes \"What Is a Woman\" measure after rejecting multiple floor amendments",917,6429000,7346000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2132577-dfe449909620aa4929ec7045d27b3b18&start=6429&end=7346","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2132577-dfe449909620aa4929ec7045d27b3b18/thumbnail_6429000.jpg","/articles/6380256/Wyoming/House-passes-What-Is-a-Woman-measure-after-rejecting-multiple-floor-amendments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6380256-9e63b4418756fa40271a75de562210e3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174556&Signature=OMuNEmCBGCMfbRKB51uOhc7Clfb9sHq-F91gRAlRKvGhLyiww63fMEyWafJEEmNYkaTJ766sYZwJHI5tLaSOjGJH7I56yBDziU-pBkjwVslY0N-WQmuGL6oCLDiyUDnYycFEYJs86vaB-jxIiABqmF1kH9WK6ZIEq5ChiuzEhmsEWx0bEFN3CRJXebgzXDRa9jQu9BNMqpwkBtd2gyxJyp076pKPOIr459IUiTiX7jZTHriWxvVQrrNTDH5nbh~uthg2u8Rb9jakQEaLpGH41aBfXWCyj0bs9wULf3nnUanjdUkhoHTsVgeYiRykGkHnzQMAN9eIxnb7ZAA0IavtMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On third reading, House Bill 32 — titled in the clerk’s readout as the “What is a woman” act — was the subject of several floor amendments and debate before final passage.

Representative Chastick brought third‑reading amendment 1, which would have deleted language directing courts about the level of constitutional scrutiny applicable to the bill; Chastick said courts, not the Legislature, determine levels of constitutional scrutiny. Representative Brown and others opposed amendment 1 on similar grounds, and the amendment failed on a voice vote.

Representative Singh offered third‑reading amendment 3 to reintroduce chromosomal (XX/XY) language into the bill. Singh argued the amendment aligned the bill with biological markers determined at conception and said chromosome testing could be administered with a noninvasive sample. Representative Lean and other members opposed amendment 3, and the amendment failed.

Representative Yen then moved amendment 4 to clarify that statutory definitions apply to “natural persons” rather than legal or corporate entities. That amendment also failed on a voice vote. Representative Sherwood moved a procedural amendment to delete the enacting clause (amendment 2) as a pause mechanism and then withdrew it after brief remarks and examples of potential cross‑statutory consequences.

Representative Sherwood had outlined examples of potential unintended consequences across state law if definitions in HB32 were adopted as written — for example, impacts on National Guard pay language, employment discrimination law interaction, and party precinct committee rules that specify committee “man” and “woman.” Debate on those points occurred while amendment 2 was pending but the amendment was ultimately withdrawn.

After the amendment sequence, the House voted to pass House Bill 32. The chief clerk recorded the final vote as 50 ayes, 9 nays, and 3 excused. Several members urged caution about cross‑statutory effects and suggested further review of how the bill’s definitions would interact with existing state law.

Actions: Amendment 1 (Rep. Chastick) — failed; Amendment 3 (Rep. Singh) — failed; Amendment 4 (Rep. Yen) — failed; Amendment 2 (Rep. Sherwood) — withdrawn; final passage: House Bill 32 passed the House, 50‑9 (3 excused).","House Bill 32 (the \"What Is a Woman\" bill) passed the Wyoming House on Jan. 20 after the chamber rejected several proposed third‑reading amendments; final recorded passage was 50‑9 (3 excused).",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6380261,"Amendment to block private‑land language in federal land net‑gain bill fails after floor debate",2140,3726000,5866000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2132577-dfe449909620aa4929ec7045d27b3b18&start=3726&end=5866","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2132577-dfe449909620aa4929ec7045d27b3b18/thumbnail_3726000.jpg","/articles/6380261/Wyoming/Amendment-to-block-privateland-language-in-federal-land-netgain-bill-fails-after-floor-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6380261-c7b46fdf41a5d07d21cc824fa0988866/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174556&Signature=S7KMxK7YBscnhCPlSDaBw8vJmgcdgqBuiVoTykrIjsSn1Ur5Vk05zmikNop23OXDDWQyjbWCOID1Ua~azCWFuH~zsvnh1dCdr9f036DgYzuqgDknD7h3AL4eq3-DFMum~sAvgiUB2L195JOUx~Ef1uQXlZsUe5OiXEJit4umzuffFW8a3iahWbe71-vNojvsqViPN0CVK-lsmNThilRy7Hi9SfnRhAOzE6dCI~rxV0s9Ot2gBfT3gon-11GITT5K5phyw7u2Q5l1Af4FicAsQ44s6Z-jkkvMrlmM6gzfRWp0dR5Hyoix9zGYZXyZuE7Pt9Zmhim8nt10Glz~n4lC~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representative Provenza moved a floor amendment to House Bill 118 that would remove private property owners from the bill and make the measure apply only to state land exchanges. Provenza argued the amendment would protect private landowners from additional transaction burdens and preserve their ability to accept compensation for land sales.

Proponents of the underlying bill, including Representative Banks, said the measure sought to restore what they described as the state’s equal‑footing rights under the U.S. Constitution (they referenced Article IV, Section 3) and Wyoming’s active admission language; Banks framed the bill as correcting a long‑standing deviation from constitutional principles.

Opponents, including Representatives Larson Lloyd, Pendergraft, Lawley and others, described the amendment as necessary to protect private property rights and prevent state interference with private sales. Speakers raised a range of concerns, including the fiscal effect of federal ownership (loss of property tax receipts offset in part by PILT — payment in lieu of taxes), the constitutionality of restrictions on sales, potential unintended consequences (environmental cleanup, Superfund sites), and administrative alternatives (State Lands Board buybacks or right of first refusal).

After extended debate, Representative Provenza asked for the ayes and nays under House rule to force a recorded roll call. The clerk recorded 25 ayes, 34 nays, and three excused; the amendment failed. The House then ordered the bill for third reading; the transcript does not show final passage of the bill within the provided excerpt.

Authorities referenced on the floor included the U.S. Constitution (Article IV, Section 3) and the Wyoming Constitution; members also invoked principles of just compensation and takings doctrines. Speakers debated whether the bill would limit private transactions or the federal government’s ability to purchase land.

The amendment was debated at length on the House floor and failed after a roll‑call division.

The amendment's proponent, Representative Styvar, said the change would preserve legislative review and allow future legislatures to reexamine the exemption. Opponents, led by Representative Larson, argued removing the sunset provided multi‑decade certainty needed to attract manufacturing investment. Several members — including Representatives Feiler, Wiley and Larson Lloyd — said firms often plan 10–25 years ahead and that eliminating the sunset had been intended to give certainty to industry.

Representative Harshman and others urged more study of who benefits from the exemption, noting a 2023 report that showed limited participation in a required survey and that the available data suggested the exemption cost roughly $65,000 per job based on limited reporting. Representative Feiler and others argued small, local manufacturers also rely on the exemption to avoid what they described as a “double tax” on inputs and finished goods.

Following debate, the House called a division because the voice vote was unclear, then conducted a roll call. The clerk recorded 28 ayes and 31 nays, with three members excused; the amendment failed. House Bill 11 was later ordered to third reading.

Votes and formal actions are limited to the motion on amendment number 1 to House Bill 11; no final passage vote on the bill is recorded in the provided transcript.

Representative Styvar moved second‑reading amendment 1 to House Bill 11, describing the change as replacing indefinite language with a 15‑year sunset (2042). The motion drew sustained floor debate from both supporters and opponents and concluded with the roll‑call tally that defeated the amendment.

The debate included requests for more robust interim committee review of exemptions and repeated calls to examine which businesses actually receive the benefit. Several speakers urged that, regardless of the sunset decision, the Legislature should study the exemption's scope in committee.

House action: the amendment failed on a roll call (28 ayes, 31 no, 3 excused). The bill remained on the calendar and was ordered for third reading.","On Jan. 20, 2025, the Wyoming House debated a second‑reading amendment to extend the sunset on a manufacturing sales and use tax exemption; the amendment failed on a roll-call vote, 28‑31 (3 excused).","actionData","errors"]
