House adopts amendment to Senate File 13 to clarify reading-assessment law
The Wyoming House on Feb. 14 adopted a second‑reading amendment to Senate File 13, a measure on reading assessment and intervention, and then ordered the bill to a third reading.

Representative Jarvis moved the amendment, saying she had reviewed the changes and worked with the relevant committee. "I move second reading amendment number 1 to Senate file 13," Jarvis told the chamber.

Representative Andrew, identified as working with the Wyoming Department of Education in the floor colloquy, indicated the department believed the amendment clarified statutory language. Representative Brown praised the changes as meeting multi‑year goals to strengthen literacy standards: "1 of the best amendments to the, literacy statutes that we have, and I would highly encourage an I vote," Brown said.

The chief clerk recorded adoption of the amendment by voice vote; the clerk announced, "Amendment has been adopted." Senate File 13 was then ordered to a third reading.

Discussion vs. decision: the House debated and approved clarifying language intended to refine reading‑assessment and intervention procedures. The transcript records committee work with the Wyoming Department of Education but does not include the amendment text nor statutory citations.

Authorities and names: the bill was presented on the floor as Senate File 13, "reading assessment and intervention amendments"; no statute numbers were read into the record during the exchange.
