Summary
Summary of recorded roll‑call actions and enrolled act signings taken during the Wyoming Senate floor session on Feb. 26, 2025, including concurrence on several Senate files and the clerk’s record of multiple enrolled acts signed by the presiding officer.
The Wyoming Senate’s floor session on Feb. 26 included concurrence votes on several Senate files, the signing of multiple enrolled acts and the reading of numerous House bills and amendments. Key actions recorded on the transcript excerpt are summarized below.
Senate File 26 — Protection of Military Equipment: Senator Pappas moved that the Senate concur with an amendment that changed the bill’s effective date from July 1, 2025, to immediate effect so the Military Department could implement the change sooner. The Senate recorded a roll‑call concurrence; the clerk announced the result on the floor as: “Senate file 26, 28 Aye, 1 no, 2 excused.” (See provenance.)
Senate File 62 — Restrooms in publicly funded schools: The Senate concurred with the House amendments after Senator Larson described definitional and exception changes. The clerk’s closing announcement on the floor read: “Senate file 62, 20 6 I, 3 no, 2 excused.” (Separate, dedicated article covers this action.)
Senate File 86 — Alternative teaching certificate: The Senate failed to concur on Senate File 86. The transcript records the clerk’s closing announcement: “Senate file 86, 1 aye, 27 no, 3 excused.” The failure to concur was confirmed on the floor.
Senate File 46 — Water and sewer districts bid requirements: The Senate recorded concurrence on amendments described on the floor as harmonizing bid thresholds and applying similar language to irrigation districts; the clerk announced the result as: “Senate file 46, 20 6 I, 2 no, 3 excused.”
Enrolled acts signed: Across the morning session the presiding officer announced signing or the presentation of several enrolled acts (selected items recorded in the transcript): Senate Enrolled Act 50 (Senate File 195, emergency loan programs), Senate Enrolled Act 51 (Senate File 84, food labeling), and multiple House Enrolled Acts including numbers 35–47 (for example House Bill 64 relating to abortions; House Bill 211 relating to Game and Fish; House Bill 188 relating to childcare facilities; House Bill 125 relating to motor vehicles; House Bill 103 relating to cemeteries and burials; House Bill 20 relating to K–12 school facility leasing; House Bill 129 and others). The clerk’s announcements on the floor indicate the enrolled acts were presented and the presiding officer signed them as recorded in the transcript.
Other floor activity included committee reports read into the record, multiple readings of House bills (many ordered for third reading), and recorded votes on amendments to House Bill 154 (e.g., votes on second‑reading amendments described in the transcript). Several amendments to House bills and other procedural items were approved by recorded voice or roll call as noted in the transcript excerpt.
