Votes at a glance: five bills pass the Senate; data-privacy measure laid back
Summary
On Jan. 31, 2025, the Wyoming Senate passed several bills on third reading (including consent-list items) and recorded final action on the Wyoming Gold Act. Senate File 65 (data privacy, government entities) was laid back for a day; several bills advanced with recorded tallies listed below.
The Wyoming Senate recorded final passage for multiple bills on Jan. 31, 2025, including consent-list items and Senate File 96 (Wyoming Gold Act). A separate data-privacy bill (Senate File 65) was laid back for further review.
Key floor actions and outcomes recorded in the day's proceeding:
- Senate File 5 (school district vehicles — flashing lights authorized): Passed the Senate on third reading as part of the consent list; roll-call recorded 30 ayes, 1 excused.
- Senate File 71 (ignition interlock restricted license — aggravated homicide): Passed the Senate on third reading as part of the consent list; final tally recorded (recorded as passed; clerk recorded ayes and nos during closing vote sequence). The transcript recorded a closing tally for the consent list and the body certified passage.
- Senate File 106 (motor vehicle dealer and manufacturer warranty rates): Passed the Senate as part of the consent list; recorded on the third-reading consent vote.
- Senate File 168 (budget reserve account repeal): Passed the Senate as part of the consent list; recorded on third-reading consent vote (31 ayes recorded for consent package item later in the roll call sequence).
- Senate File 96 (Wyoming Gold Act): The Senate divided an amendment, adopted the divided language, and then passed the bill on third reading. Final roll-call on Senate File 96 recorded 25 ayes, 6 no (as announced on the floor), and the presiding officer declared the bill passed.
- Senate File 65 (data privacy, governmental entities): Laid back for one additional day at the sponsor’s request and not passed; the Senate noted the measure will return to the calendar.
Other items: Several bills were read for second reading or had committee-amendments adopted (for example, amendments to Senate File 86 — alternative teacher certification — were adopted on second reading), but those measures either moved forward or were set for later consideration.
Why it matters: The consent-list approach bundled mostly noncontroversial bills for passage. The recorded final passage of the Wyoming Gold Act (SF96) and multiple consent-list bills advances statewide statutory changes; the data-privacy proposal will return for further consideration.
Votes and recorded tallies are listed below in the actions section.
