What is required for a bill to pass in the Wyoming Legislature?

For a bill to successfully pass in the Wyoming Legislature, it must receive a majority vote from both houses in identical form. This means that after a bill is introduced, it must go through a series of discussions, revisions, and votes in both chambers of the legislature—the House of Representatives and the Senate. Once a bill has been approved by a majority in one house, it is sent to the other house for consideration. If both houses finally approve the bill in the same language without any changes, it can then proceed to the governor for final approval.

The process ensures that there is consensus from both legislative bodies, reflecting the diverse opinions and interests within the state. This requirement underscores the legislative system's emphasis on collaboration and thorough examination of proposed laws before they are enacted.
