This bill establishes a process for the publication and maintenance of executive orders issued by governors in Wyoming. It amends existing statutes to designate the secretary of state as the custodian responsible for preserving all executive orders, which are now explicitly included in the list of documents that must be maintained. Additionally, the bill mandates that all executive orders be made publicly available on the secretary of state's official website. This includes a new requirement for the secretary of state to publish previously issued executive orders that can be reasonably located, even if they have expired.

The bill also sets an effective date of July 1, 2025, for these provisions to take effect. The committee is encouraged to consider defining "executive order" within the statutes and may also explore the possibility of requiring the publication of other types of gubernatorial proclamations online.
