Senate rescinds nonconcurrence, agrees to reinstate “citizen” wording on ID cards
Summary
The Wyoming Senate voted to rescind its nonconcurrence position on Senate File 33, agreeing to the House'passed language that reinserts the word "citizen" on driver's licenses and ID cards; the chamber approved the motion after discussion of placement of the wording on the back of the card.
The Wyoming Senate voted to rescind its nonconcurrence position on Senate File 33, a bill revising language for driver's licenses and state identification cards, returning the measure to the form agreed by the House.
Senator Pappas moved the motion under Joint Rule 2-4, saying the only substantive difference between the chambers was "one word, the word citizen," and that the House had identified placement for the wording on the back of the card. The Senate adopted the motion and then voted on the bill-by-bill concurrence.
Senators debated placement and presentation but the sponsor said the bill does not require placement on the front and that the House had located sufficient room on the back of the card. A roll-call vote was taken: the clerk recorded the closing tally as recorded on the floor. By the vote, the Senate rescinded nonconcurrence and moved to concur with the House on Senate File 33.
The motion to rescind nonconcurrence was made under Joint Rule 2-4 and proceeded as a formal roll call. The motion carried on the recorded voice and roll-call sequence announced from the dais and clerk's roll call.
Senate File 33 will return to the enrollment or final processing steps consistent with legislative procedure following the chamber'recorded concurrence.
No amendments or further changes were recorded on the floor during the concurrence action.
