The bill establishes the Wyoming-Ireland Trade Commission, which aims to promote and facilitate business and economic activities between Wyoming and Ireland. The commission will consist of nine members appointed by various state leaders, including the governor and legislative leaders, with specific representation from higher education, the Irish-American community, and industries engaged in trade with Ireland. Members will serve staggered terms, with non-legislative members receiving reimbursement for expenses, while legislative members will receive salary and travel reimbursements as per existing laws. The commission is required to meet quarterly and report its findings and recommendations annually to key state officials.

Additionally, the bill amends the definition section of existing law to include the new commission, updating the reference to the act to encompass the newly created sections. The commission's purpose includes advancing bilateral trade, joint policy actions, and mutual economic support, with a focus on identifying opportunities for growth. The act will take effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
