This bill amends existing laws to enhance the representation of veterans and veteran services on the University of Wyoming Board of Trustees and the Wyoming Community College Commission. It introduces provisions for ex officio nonvoting members who represent veterans, allowing the Wyoming Veterans' Commission to recommend individuals for these positions. Specifically, the bill adds a new paragraph to the duties of the Wyoming Veterans' Commission, which includes recommending public members to be appointed by the governor to serve on both the university board and the community college commission.

Additionally, the bill modifies the composition of the University Board and the Community College Commission by replacing the director of the Wyoming Community College Commission with a member representing veterans and veteran services as an ex officio member. This change aims to ensure that the perspectives and needs of veterans are considered in the decision-making processes of these educational institutions. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
