§ 42-1-102 — Conflict with federal laws

(a) If any provision of this title or W.S. 14-2-1001
through 14-2-1008 is found to be in conflict with federal law or
to come in conflict with federal law due to new federal
enactments, the department shall:
(i) Follow the state rather than the federal law to
the extent possible without incurring federal sanctions;
(ii) Seek any waivers from the federal government
which appear to be appropriate and feasible to permit continued
use of the provisions of state law;
(iii) Notify the joint labor, health and social
services interim committee and the legislature of the conflict
and the steps necessary to resolve the conflict; and
(iv) If necessary to avoid federal sanctions with
significant adverse effects on the state or the people of
Wyoming, implement the federal law until sixty (60) days after
the end of the general or budget legislative session following
the discovery of the conflict. This period may be extended by
the governor until sixty (60) days after the end of the next
legislative session if a waiver request is pending before the
appropriate federal agency at the start of a legislative
session.
