Cheyenne, WY Two bills intended to strengthen the Wyoming Public Meeting Law and Wyoming Sunshine Law passed the first reading in the House this week. The public records section of the bill would require existing documents to be provided within seven working days. If a request for new data or a large sampling would take longer than seven days an answer on how much longer such an undertaking would require must be submitted within a week to the requester. The open meetings section of the bill would reduce the required notification period for an emergency meeting from 24 to 12 hours. In addition lawmakers would no longer be required to record audio of executive sessions, and they may instead opt to keep traditional minutes which would still only be released with a judge's order.
