Prohibiting mask, vaccine and testing discrimination.
Wyoming's HB 59 prohibits discrimination against individuals based on their vaccination status, mask-wearing, or COVID-19 testing results. It bans businesses and service providers from denying access to public services, goods, or facilities - like restaurants or retail stores - because someone is unvaccinated, not wearing a mask, or refuses testing. The law also prevents businesses from advertising requirements for masks, vaccines, or testing as a condition for service. Violators face civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation, and affected individuals can file lawsuits to seek this compensation. The bill directly impacts businesses serving the public, ensuring equal access regardless of health-related choices.
