Data privacy-government entities.

SF 65 requires Wyoming state and local government entities (excluding judicial branch and law enforcement) to adopt policies governing the collection, security, and use of personal data. It prohibits selling or transferring personal data without resident consent, allows residents to request copies of their data or object to inaccuracies, and limits data collection to what’s necessary for government functions with a maximum 3-year retention period (unless justified by law). The bill defines key terms like "personal data" and "deidentified data," and mandates policy development by state agencies by January 2026, with local governments required to comply by July 2027. This directly affects all state agencies, counties, cities, and towns handling resident data.
