HB 227 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Executive order-time limitations.

HB 227 sets a 30-day expiration limit for Wyoming governors' executive orders after the issuing governor leaves office, or at the end of their term - whichever comes first. It directly affects governors and state agencies implementing executive orders, requiring them to renew or replace orders before the 30-day window ends. The bill specifies that no executive order can remain effective beyond 30 days after a governor's departure from office. This applies to all executive orders issued on or after July 1, 2025, and takes effect on that date. The legislation aims to prevent long-term executive actions without legislative oversight.
