The 2021 Act intended to repeal Section 1 of 2020 Wyoming Session Laws, Chapter 114 (original 2020 House Bill 0171) ("2020 Act") and to codify and otherwise address all issues contained in Section 1 of the 2020 Act;

(ii)

The 2021 Act was not intended to repeal the 2020 Act in its entirety. However, due to a scrivener's error, the 2021 Act omitted a reference to "Section 1" in Section 6, the "repealer section" and instead stated, "2020 Wyoming Sessions Laws, Chapter 114 is repealed[;]";

(iii)

Repeal of the entire 2020 Act was not intended by the legislature in the 2021 Act;

(iv)

The legislature finds it necessary to clarify its intent and to enact into law appropriate legislation, as contained in this act.

Section 2

2021 Wyoming Session Laws, Chapter 109, Section 6 is amended to read:

Section 6.
