The Wyoming Senate Rules Committee reviewed a technical amendment to Senate Rule 15-7 and a proposal to repeal Senate Rule 18-1 on Thursday, January 16.
Lawmakers were told the change to Rule 15-7 corrects a typographical error. Committee staff said Rule 18-1 was created for procedures used during the late 2022 budget session amid the COVID-19 pandemic and "has been fully executed by its terms," so it is proposed for repeal.
LSO staff described 15-7 as "just a cleanup rule" and said the rule change corrects a typo. The director said 18-1 "only applied to the 2022 budget session," and removal was proposed because its temporary conditions have passed.
No formal action was taken at the meeting; staff told senators they planned to review the rules more fully and take action the following day so the changes could be numbered before full Senate consideration.
The committee did not reach a vote on either change during the afternoon session. The director and committee members emphasized this was an informational review so members could be prepared to act at a later meeting.
