Senate signs multiple enrolled acts and records votes on several bills during Feb. 19 session
Summary
The Wyoming Senate signed several enrolled acts and recorded roll-call votes on a string of bills including concurrence votes, final passage of several House bills and the enrollment/signing of multiple acts.
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — During the Feb. 19 Senate session the presiding officer signed multiple enrolled acts and the body recorded roll-call votes on a series of bills. The day’s routine included the formal signing of enrolled acts, votes to concur with the House on amended Senate files, and third‑reading passage of several House bills.
Signed enrolled acts: The president signed Senate Enrolled Act No. 7 (originally Senate File 42, resort hotel liquor licenses) and a set of House Enrolled Acts numbered 1 through 12, covering topics including vehicle accident reporting (House Enrolled Act 1), disabled parking placard revisions (House Enrolled Act 2), Wyoming Livestock Board memorandums of understanding (House Enrolled Act 3), state land lease preference changes (House Enrolled Act 8) and others listed on the floor.
Concurrences and roll‑calls: The Senate voted to concur with the House on Senate File 13 (concurrence recorded by the clerk) and on Senate File 49 (took concurrence action after the House amended the bill). The Senate also concurred on Senate Joint Resolution 3 (commemorating Nellie Taylor Ross). The Senate failed to concur on Senate File 40; that item was sent to conference (separate article covers that debate).
Bills passed on third reading: The Senate completed third readings and final passage on multiple House bills. Notable final actions recorded on the floor included: - House Bill 86 (public property and buildings amendments) — the bill passed the Senate after a failed amendment vote; recorded as passed on third reading. - House Bill 166 (State Auditor payment transparency) — passed on third reading. - House Bill 199 (education savings accounts / school choice) — passed; see separate article for debate and full roll-call detail.
Other actions and messages: The chief clerk read messages from the House reporting concurrence, non‑concurrence and the appointment of conferees in several cases (for example, the House failed to concur on Senate amendments to House Bill 11 and House Bill 28 and appointed conferees). Committees reported out bills to the Senate floor, and multiple bills were set for committee hearings and re‑referrals during the remainder of the session.
What to watch: The roll‑call results and the signing of enrolled acts complete this step of the legislative process for those measures; bills that failed concurrence or where conferees were named will proceed through conference or further committee work. Observers and affected stakeholders should monitor conference outcomes and any appropriation actions related to bills that carry fiscal effects.
