2. This is a resolution, not proposed legislation. No one is coming for your electric car.

Sun Jan 15, 2023: This is a resolution, not proposed legislation.

It is not a bill that, if passed by both houses of the Wyoming legislature and signed by the governor, would become Wyoming law.

It has as much legal effect as a resolution in support of motherhood, or displaying the American flag, or wishing a football team well.
