SF 81 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

Hospital or healthcare district created entities-immunity.

SF 81 clarifies that certain healthcare entities, specifically those formed by county memorial hospitals or healthcare districts wholly owned by government entities, are protected under Wyoming's Governmental Claims Act. This bill amends the definition of "local government" to explicitly include these entities, ensuring they qualify for immunity from certain lawsuits. It directly affects county hospitals and healthcare districts operating under government ownership. The change takes effect July 1, 2024, and is a procedural clarification rather than a new policy.
