Office of guardian ad litem-program references.
HB 13 is a technical correction bill that updates legal references throughout Wyoming law. It changes all instances of "guardian ad litem program" to "office of guardian ad litem" in statutes related to child welfare cases. The bill does not alter any policy, funding mechanisms, or responsibilities - existing rules about who pays guardian ad litem fees (county, agencies, or parents) remain unchanged. It directly affects how the state's legal system references this office in court proceedings but does not create new obligations or impact service delivery. This is purely a terminology update to align statutory language with current administrative structure.
