As a result of the 2021 General Session of the Wyoming Legislature, 2021 Wyoming Session Laws, Chapter 109 (original 2021 Senate File 56) ("2021 Act") became law.

(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to "Section 1" in Section 6, the "repealer section" and instead stated, "2020 Wyoming Sessions Laws, Chapter 114 is repealed[;]";

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