This bill amends Wyoming Statute 9-1-305(a) to allow the Secretary of State to charge a fee for expediting the filing of certain documents. Specifically, a new paragraph (viii) is added, which permits the Secretary of State to charge a maximum fee of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for expediting filings related to titles 17, 34, or 40, chapters 1 and 2 of the Wyoming statutes. The bill stipulates that the fee and the process for requesting expedited filings will be established by the Secretary of State's rules, considering the impact on total filings and the costs associated with expediting.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that expediting a filing does not provide any advantage over non-expedited filings regarding the timing of the filing. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026.
