This bill amends Wyoming Statute 9-1-305(a) to allow the Secretary of State to charge a fee for expediting the filing of documents. A new paragraph (viii) is added, specifying that the maximum fee for this expedited service will be two thousand dollars ($2,000.00). The bill outlines that the Secretary of State may establish the fee and the process for requesting expedited filings through rules, which will consider the costs associated with both the filing and the expedited service. Importantly, the expedited filing will not provide any advantages in terms of filing timing compared to non-expedited filings.

The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2024. The inclusion of the expedited filing fee is intended to streamline the process for those needing quicker document processing while ensuring that the costs are appropriately managed and regulated by the Secretary of State's office.
