Schools-health mandate prohibition.
SF 1017 prohibits Wyoming school districts, the state superintendent, and state education boards from implementing any requirements related to contagious disease prevention, such as movement restrictions, activity limitations, or personal protective equipment mandates. It repeals mandatory immunization requirements for children attending schools and child care facilities, shifting authority for such measures exclusively to state or local health officers under existing health laws. The bill directly affects school districts, education officials, and students by eliminating school-level disease prevention policies and replacing them with health officer oversight. It became effective July 1, 2022, and makes conforming amendments to related statutes.
