The bill establishes a new federal review joint and standing committee within the Wyoming legislature, tasked with reviewing federal actions to ensure they do not infringe upon the sovereignty of Wyoming and the rights of its citizens. The committee will consist of five members appointed by the president of the senate and nine members appointed by the speaker of the house, with appointments required to be made by March 31 following each general election. The committee's responsibilities include assessing the constitutionality of federal actions without regard to judicial interpretations and reporting findings and recommendations to the legislature.
Additionally, the bill specifies that the committee will be dissolved if the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is repealed. It mandates that the president of the senate and the speaker of the house appoint members to the committee by January 6, 2026, and requires both houses to adopt rules for implementing the act. The bill will take effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution.
