The bill amends existing laws regarding the organization and election of state legislative districts in Wyoming, specifically focusing on the Senate districts. It establishes that changes to legislative districts will take effect for the 2022 general election cycle and the sixty-seventh legislature, with odd-numbered districts electing members for a four-year term in 2022, while even-numbered districts will not hold elections until 2024. A new subsection (e) is added, stating that changes to Senate districts will be effective for the 2028 general election cycle, with all Senate districts being elected in that year. Odd-numbered districts will have a two-year term, while even-numbered districts will have a four-year term.

Additionally, the bill modifies the structure of Senate districts by creating a new subsection (d) that outlines the organization of Senate districts based on specific counties, effective for the 2028 general election. The bill also mandates a review by the joint corporations, elections, and political subdivisions interim committee to recommend any further statutory changes by October 1, 2026. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
