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 an amount not exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000) for expedited 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 will not affect the prioritization of rights determined by the timing of the original filing. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026.
