 * Liquor Commission **

The Twenty-third State Legislature, 1935, created the Wyoming Liquor Commission, composed of the Governor, Secretary of State, and State Treasurer, and, in case of a vacancy on said commission, the State Auditor was to fill such vacancy.

The Wyoming Liquor Commission is the wholesale distributor of intoxicating liquor, not including malt liquors, and has the sole right to sell same at wholesale within the State.

The Twenty-fourth State Legislature, 1937, designated the membership of the Wyoming Liquor Commission as Governor, Secretary of State, State Audi­tor, State Treasurer, and Superintendent of Public Instruction, when it passed an act naming the five elective State officers as members of all State boards and commissions, upon which two or more such officers were then serving, with the exception of the Board of Trustees of the University of Wyoming.

A director of the Wyoming Liquor Commission is appointed by the commission to serve indefinitely.

By the Twenty-second State Legislature, 1933, the Wyoming Liquor Commission was required to make a biennial report, one copy to be filed with the governor, and one with each house of the State Legislature.
