(a) This article shall be effective only if a court has enjoined the enforcement or applicability of W.S. 35-6-401 through 35-6-404 or has held that W.S. 35-6-401 through 35-6-404 violates the Wyoming constitution or the United States constitution. (b) The attorney general shall review the decisions of any court that challenges W.S. 35-6-401 through 35-6-404 to determine whether W.S. 35-6-401 through 35-6-404 are enforceable. If the attorney general determines that W.S. 35-6- 401 through 35-6-404 are not enforceable or cannot take effect, the attorney general shall, within thirty (30) days of the date of the decision, report that fact to the governor, the joint judiciary interim committee and the governor, who may certify the effectiveness of this article to the secretary of state. (c) After receiving certification from the governor that this article is effective, the secretary of state shall report that fact to the management council of the legislature, the joint judiciary interim committee and the Wyoming state board of medicine and shall immediately publish the effective date of this article on the website of the secretary of state, which effective date shall be five (5) days after the secretary of state receives certification under subsection (b) of this section. (d) To the extent that W.S. 35-6-401 through 35-6-404 are enjoined but later determined to be legal, constitutional or enforceable after this article has taken effect, the provisions of W.S. 35-6-401 through 35-6-404 shall control and take precedence over this article.
