The bill establishes the Wyoming-Ireland Trade Commission, which aims to promote and facilitate business and economic activities between Wyoming and Ireland. The commission will consist of nine members appointed by various state leaders, including the governor and legislative leaders, with specific representation from the Irish-American community, Wyoming industries, and business associations. Members will serve two-year terms, with legislative members retaining their legislative status to maintain their commission membership. The commission is required to meet quarterly and will report its findings and recommendations annually to the governor and legislative leaders.
Additionally, the bill amends the definition of "this act" to include the newly created sections related to the Wyoming-Ireland Trade Commission. It also outlines the funding sources for per diem and travel expenses for commission members, distinguishing between legislative and non-legislative members. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
