- The bill now proceeds to a vote in the Wyoming House of Representatives, where it will become law if it is passed unaltered.
- Wyoming would be the first U.S. state to pass such legislation into law.
- DAOs are companies whose governance is built on smart contracts and where decision making is shared around the organization rather being centralized under a boss or executive.

- The state also introduced a bill in February to build a blockchain-based system for companies to file reports, data and other information required by law.
