Which constitutional provision regulates the content of bills in Wyoming?

• A. Each bill may contain only one subject.
• B. A bill may address multiple unrelated subjects.
• C. A bill may become law without committee referral if printed.
• D. A bill must be signed by the Governor before printing.

Answer: (A)

Wyoming requires that a bill address only one subject, with the subject clearly expressed in the bill’s title. This single-subject rule keeps legislation clear and honest, so the public and lawmakers know exactly what the measure covers and can evaluate it without being surprised by unrelated provisions grafted into the same bill. It also discourages logrolling—linking together multiple topics to gain support for a broad package.

If a bill tried to tackle unrelated topics, it would violate this rule and would typically be rejected or split into separate measures, ensuring each bill stands on its own merits. The other options address procedural steps rather than the content constraint, so they don’t fit the constitutional standard governing how bills are written.
