HB0037: Fixing Mistakes in Wyoming Laws

Last scannedOct 18, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This bill corrects small errors, outdated references, and missing words in existing Wyoming state laws.

What it does

  • Fixes incorrect references to other state and federal laws.
  • Corrects spelling mistakes and missing words in legal text.
  • Updates the name of the federal Consumer Credit Protection Act in loan laws.
  • Changes the name of the agency responsible for enforcing workplace safety rules to the Department of Workforce Services.
  • Updates the definition of who counts as a voter in special district elections.

Who it affects

  • State agencies that enforce laws, such as the Department of Workforce Services and the Board of Pharmacy.
  • School districts and state education officials.
  • Lenders and sellers involved in consumer credit and loans.
  • Legislators and county clerks who handle prefiled bills.

Limits and unknowns

  • The bill does not create new rights or duties; it only fixes existing text.
  • The source text is truncated, so some specific corrections at the end of the bill are not fully visible.
  • The bill does not explain why the original errors happened.
