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 cast their vote during the election day or early voting period. The time off must be taken at the convenience of the employer, and employees will not lose pay for this absence as long as they actually 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 aim to enhance voter participation by providing more flexibility for employees to fulfill their civic duty without financial penalty.
