The bill amends W.S. 28-8-105 by adding a new subsection (e) that requires the legislative service office to manage email correspondence directed to legislators. Specifically, if a requestor believes their emails to a legislator have been filtered to a folder other than the legislator's inbox, they can request confirmation from the legislative service office. Upon verification, the office must ensure that all current and future emails from the requestor's identified email addresses are directed to the legislator's inbox within two business days, unless the emails pose a security threat to the legislature's email system.
This new provision aims to enhance communication between constituents and their legislators by ensuring that important emails are not overlooked due to filtering. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2026.
