The bill amends the existing framework for the select committee on blockchain, financial technology, and digital innovation technology by renaming it to the select committee on blockchain and emerging technologies. This change reflects a broader focus on emerging technologies beyond just financial technology and digital innovation. The committee's duties are also updated to include developing policies that encourage technology companies to establish and remain in Wyoming, as well as promoting digital commercial activity within the state.

Additionally, the bill modifies the appointment process for liaisons to the committee, ensuring that the governor appoints three individuals to assist with issues related to blockchain and emerging technologies. The bill also requires the director to provide a comprehensive report to the renamed committee and the joint minerals, business, and economic development interim committee before issuing any fully reserved Wyoming stable tokens. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
