SF 94 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

An act regarding compelled speech and state employers.

Wyoming's SF 94 prohibits state and local government employers from requiring employees to use specific pronouns as a condition of employment, contracts, grants, or other benefits, or under threat of adverse action. The bill directly affects state and local government employees by preventing mandatory pronoun usage policies in these contexts. It creates a civil lawsuit remedy for affected individuals to seek injunctions, damages, and attorney fees against the state or political subdivisions that violate the law. The law takes effect July 1, 2024, and amends existing immunity statutes to include this new exception.
