(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.
