Schools-health mandate prohibition-2.
Wyoming's HB 1017 prohibits school superintendents, school boards, and district trustees from creating rules about movement restrictions, activity limitations, or personal protective equipment to prevent contagious diseases. It repeals mandatory immunization requirements for students attending schools or childcare facilities and shifts authority for disease prevention measures to state or local health officers under existing law. The bill also modifies related statutes to align with these changes and takes effect July 1, 2022. This directly affects school officials who can no longer enforce health mandates and families who are no longer required to provide certain immunization records for school enrollment.
