The bill mandates that the legislative service office in Wyoming must provide live video broadcasts of specific legislative meetings, including those of the management council, joint appropriations committee, management audit committee, and other select committees or task forces. This new requirement is detailed in a newly created paragraph (vii) under W.S. 28-8-105(a). Additionally, it stipulates that recordings of these broadcasts must be made available on the legislature's website, while clarifying that the broadcasts do not replace the official written records of the meetings. The bill also specifies that meetings held in executive session are exempt from broadcasting, and that technical failures in broadcasting will not delay proceedings or invalidate actions taken during meetings.

The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. The bill emphasizes that the failure to broadcast a meeting does not affect the validity of any actions taken during that meeting, ensuring that legislative processes remain uninterrupted despite potential technical issues.
