Votes at a glance: consent list and key third‑reading outcomes — Wyoming House, Feb. 6
Summary
The Wyoming House approved a consent list of six bills and passed at least two bills on third reading during the Feb. 6 session. The consent list passed unanimously among present members; House Bill 4 and House Bill 123 passed recorded roll calls.
Several measures moved quickly during the Feb. 6 House session under unanimous or recorded votes.
Consent list: The House approved a third‑reading consent list that included six items: House Bill 83 (child custody and offense convictions), House Bill 85 (local approval for simulcasting/parimutuel wagering), House Bill 181 (funeral contract reforms), House Bill 235 (career technical education equipment and supplies), House Joint Resolution 1 (earnings on the state’s school trust), and House Joint Resolution 3 (support for rural schools). The Chief Clerk recorded the consent list as passing the House with an overall tally of 61 ayes and 1 excused on multiple items in the consent list roll calls (the transcript shows "61 aye, 1 excused" for listed consent items).
Third‑reading passage (recorded votes included in transcript): - House Bill 4 (snowmobile registration and user fees): Passed on third reading, recorded vote 54 ayes, 7 noes, 1 excused. - House Bill 123 (adverse possession / property tax payment defense): Passed on third reading, recorded vote 40 ayes, 21 noes, 1 excused.
Other bills: Several bills (HB72, HB202, HB245, HB273) were advanced to third reading after amendment votes; the transcript excerpt does not show their final floor passage tallies.
Why it matters: The consent list enacts multiple measures with limited floor debate, while the recorded third‑reading votes show where the House divided on policy (notably property law and snowmobile registration). Tracking final passage in the second chamber or gubernatorial action will be necessary to confirm enactment.
