Constitutional apportionment of legislators.
This bill requires Wyoming's legislature to comply with constitutional requirements for drawing legislative districts. It mandates that future districts follow county lines and ensure each county has at least one senator and one representative, aligning with Wyoming Constitution Article 3, Sections 3 and 48. A legislative committee will study apportionment options during the 2025 interim, gather public input, and report findings by December 2025 to inform potential legislation for the 2026 budget session. The bill does not change current districts but sets a process to create a constitutionally compliant plan for the next reapportionment cycle after the 2020 census.

MINOR
This bill was converted from a draft Senate Bill to an Enrolled Act, indicating it has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive content remains largely the same, with the primary change being the addition of official enrollment markings and formatting updates typical of the final legislative document. The bill's purpose - to study legislative apportionment and ensure districts follow county lines - remains unchanged.
Scope change
No substantive change in scope; the bill's applicability and requirements remain identical to the introduced version.
