HB0176

Vacancies in public office-amendments.

Failed·3/3/25

Wyoming HB0176 amends the process for filling vacancies in elected offices, including county commissioner positions.

Wyoming HB0176 revises the process for filling vacancies in elected offices, particularly county commissioner positions. It establishes procedures for temporary appointments when vacancies are not filled within specified timeframes. If county commissioners fail to fill a vacancy, the county central committee steps in to make a temporary appointment. The bill also creates a non-rebuttable presumption for the qualifications of individuals appointed to fill such vacancies. Effective July 1, 2025, this act repeals certain conflicting provisions and makes conforming amendments.
