House signs three enrolled acts; committee of the whole advances agritourism and noncompete bills; HB299 indefinitely postponed
Summary
On Feb. 28, 2025, the Wyoming House signed three enrolled acts (originally House Bills 311, 18 and 199), the Committee of the Whole reported favorably on Senate Files 108 and 107, and the Senate notified the House that House Bill 299 was indefinitely postponed.
The Wyoming House recorded several formal actions during its Feb. 28 session, including the signing of three enrolled acts, committee recommendations on two Senate files and a Senate message that one House bill had been indefinitely postponed.
Enrolled acts signed: The Speaker signed House Enrolled Act 50 (originally House Bill 311), which amends taxation and revenue law to clarify sales‑tax exemption definitions for power and fuel sales related to pipeline transportation and clarifies ownership and rulemaking requirements. He also signed House Enrolled Act 51 (originally House Bill 18), which modifies the career and technical education equipment and supplies component of the Education Resource Block Grant model and provides an appropriation; and House Enrolled Act 52 (originally House Bill 199), which revises the education savings account program, renames it the Steamboat Legacy Scholarship Act, increases maximum scholarship awards and changes eligibility and appropriation language. The clerk recorded each enrolled act as signed.
Committee actions: In Committee of the Whole, members reported Senate File 108 (recreation safety; adding agritourism into the Recreational Safety Act) as do‑pass. Representative Byron presented the committee recommendation. The House also reported Senate File 107 (prohibiting certain noncompete agreements for lower‑level employees) as do‑pass; the committee adopted a standing committee amendment narrowing the bill’s title and clarifying that the measure exempts agreements protecting trade secrets and reasonable training‑recovery provisions for employer‑funded training.
Message from the Senate: The Senate chief clerk sent Message 410 announcing that House Bill 299 (online sports wagering amendments) "has been indefinitely postponed." The message was read into the record by the clerk.
These actions were procedural steps that advance some measures (signing enrolled acts and committee recommendations) while removing others from immediate consideration (HB 299), and set the agenda for subsequent floor action and committee follow‑up.
Votes and formal outcomes recorded in the transcript are summarized below.
