Summary
On March 2 the Senate signed several enrolled acts, passed a multi-bill consent list (House Bills 2, 23, 24, 25, 28, 75 and 128), and recorded concurrence on several other House bills and Senate files including Medicaid EMS rate increases and budget-related measures; details and roll-call outcomes are listed below.
The Wyoming Senate's March 2 floor session included many procedural consent votes, the signing of enrolled acts, and recorded concurrence actions. Highlights include:
- Consent list passed (roll call): House Bill 2 (FastTrack Permits Act), House Bill 23 (Participation in 6–12 activities), House Bill 24 (Review of Charter School Applications), House Bill 25 (Wyoming's Tomorrow Scholarship Program Amendments), House Bill 28 (Sexual Exploitation of Children Amendments), House Bill 75 (Virtual Currency Kiosks), House Bill 128 (Enhanced Oil Recovery Severance Tax Exemption). The clerk recorded the consent-list tally and all bills passed the Senate.

- House Bill 45 (long-term homeowner tax-exemption revisions) passed the Senate on third reading after adoption of two third-reading amendments to avoid double-stacking exemptions (final roll-call recorded: 23 I, 8 recorded as conflict).
- The presiding officer signed a series of enrolled acts during the session, including budget-related enrolled acts and multiple House enrolled acts.
Several other bills drew extended floor debate and were either advanced with amendments (e.g., HB126) or were sent to conference/indefinitely postponed (eg. HB19). Full roll-call details are available in the Senate journal; reporters and stakeholders should consult the official record for line-by-line tallies.
