Wyoming Wednesday.
HB 246 designates every Wednesday as "Wyoming Wednesday - Brown and Gold Day," encouraging residents to wear brown and gold to celebrate the state. The bill requires the governor to issue an annual proclamation by August 1 each year, but explicitly states it does not affect commercial transactions, legal agreements, or require closures of schools, businesses, or government offices. This symbolic measure, effective July 1, 2025, has no binding requirements beyond voluntary community participation.

MINOR
The bill was finalized as an enrolled act (HB0246) with minor formatting adjustments to the header and section numbering. The core policy content regarding Wyoming Wednesday remained unchanged, establishing the second Wednesday of each month as 'Wyoming Wednesday - Brown and Gold Day' with a governor's proclamation requirement and no impact on business operations.
TECHNICAL
Header formatting changed from 'Introduced' version to 'Enrolled Act No. 78' with updated legislative session information (68th Legislature, 2025 General Session).
Section numbering was reorganized from a continuous 1-17 sequence to a cleaner 1-2 structure with subsections (a), (b), and (c) for better readability.
Added signature lines for the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and Governor with approval date fields.
