Statewide 911 coordinator.
HB 161 requires Wyoming's governor to appoint a statewide 911 coordinator - a qualified Wyoming voter - who ensures the state complies with federal grant requirements for 911 system funding. The coordinator manages federal funding alignment and can be removed by the governor. The bill mandates this appointment within 30 days of the law's effective date. This change directly affects how Wyoming administers its 911 emergency service funding under federal programs.
