The bill amends Wyoming's election laws regarding employees' rights to take time off work to vote. It specifies that any eligible voter is entitled to take up to two hours off from work, rather than the previous one hour, to vote on the day of the election or during early voting, provided they request this time off. The time off must be at the convenience of the employer, and employees will not lose pay for this absence as long as they cast their legal vote. Additionally, the bill clarifies that this provision does not apply to employees who have three or more consecutive nonworking hours during the time the polls are open on election day.

The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025. The changes include the insertion of new language that expands the time off from one hour to two hours and allows for time off during early voting, while deleting references to the previous one-hour limit and specific polling hours.
