Prostitution amendments.
HB 62 amends Wyoming's prostitution and solicitation laws to explicitly include "sexual contact" as a prohibited act. The bill defines "sexual contact" as touching intimate areas (or clothing covering them) with sexual intent, expanding the scope of what constitutes prostitution. This change directly affects individuals engaging in or soliciting sexual contact for money, now covered under existing misdemeanor penalties of up to six months in jail or a $750 fine. The law becomes effective July 1, 2025, updating statutes W.S. 6-4-101 and 6-4-102.
