HB 242 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Manufacturers and dealers of new trailers-changes.

HB 242 requires motor vehicle dealers selling new trailers (excluding house trailers and semitrailers) to obtain a "sales authorization" document from the trailer manufacturer or distributor. This authorization confirms the dealer is permitted to sell specific trailer makes, replacing previous requirements for some dealers. The bill also exempts manufacturers and dealers of non-house-trailer, non-semitrailer new trailers from certain existing regulations (like W.S. 31-16-109 through 31-16-111). The changes apply to all new trailer dealers and manufacturers in Wyoming starting July 1, 2025.
