     (a) In any action challenging any official act of the
legislature as a whole and naming the legislature or any member
thereof as a party, the proper party shall be "The Legislature
of the State of Wyoming." In any such action challenging an
official act of either body of the legislature or a committee of
the legislature the proper party shall be the appropriate body
or committee of "the Legislature of the State of Wyoming".

     (b) In any action challenging any official act of a member
of the state legislature, the legislator shall be designated
only by the legislative office held unless the action seeks
relief from actions of the legislator other than actions taken
in his official capacity.

     (c) Any individual named in an action in which the proper
party is the legislature or a body of the legislature or who has
otherwise been improperly named has the substantive right to
petition the court to have his name removed from the action.

     (d) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to
require naming the legislature as a party when the claim or
cause of action arises from the enforcement or operation of any
law.
