The bill establishes a formal process for the publication and maintenance of executive orders issued by the governor of Wyoming. It amends existing statutes to designate the secretary of state as the custodian responsible for preserving all executive orders, which are defined as proclamations or orders executed by the governor under constitutional or statutory authority. The bill specifies that certain types of proclamations, such as those calling special legislative sessions or elections, are excluded from this definition. Additionally, it mandates that all executive orders be made publicly available on the secretary of state's official website.

Furthermore, the bill requires that any executive orders issued by previous governors, which can be reasonably located, must also be published on the website as soon as practicable, including those that have expired. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
