Wyoming Administrative Code Agency 950 - Higher Education Council
Here’s a clearer and more structured breakdown of Wyoming Administrative Code – Agency 950 (Higher Education Council):
🏛️ Agency Overview
Agency 950 – Higher Education Council operates within the Wyoming Administrative Code and comprises Sub‑Agency 0001 – Information Practices, focused on governing public records and data access policies for the Council (regulations.justia.com).
📘 Chapter 1 – Information Practices
This chapter establishes rules for public access to records, including:
950‑1‑1: All “public records”—unless exempt under W.S. 9‑692.3—must be available for inspection, copying, or handling during normal business hours upon simple request, with no ID or forms required (law.cornell.edu).
950‑1‑2: Copies are provided through Council staff only; there are no on‑site reproduction facilities. Requests requiring staff time outside normal duties may incur charges based on actual costs (law.cornell.edu).
950‑1‑3: Standard reproduction cost is $0.35 per page. Any copies must be officially logged, documenting who made them and their purpose (law.cornell.edu).
These rules are current through March 29, 2025, per available updates (regulations.justia.com).
🔗 Statutory Authority
These provisions derive authority from Wyoming Statutes §§ 9‑692.3–.4, governing open records and public access.
As a “public records” agency, the Council must act consistently with state transparency laws, ensuring fair and efficient access to its data.

🗂️ What's Included—And What’s Missing
While Chapter 1 comprehensively addresses information practices, no additional chapters (e.g. on licensing, governance, operations) appear under Agency 950 in the Code (regulations.justia.com, regulations.justia.com).
If you'd like, I can help you explore whether the Council has separate bylaws, governance rules, or internal policies elsewhere.
