County clerks-frivolous filings procedure.
This bill allows Wyoming county clerks to reject or add a "frivolous" notation to certain public filings that lack legal or factual merit or are submitted for improper purposes like harassment. It directly affects individuals and organizations submitting documents to county clerks, such as legal papers or public records. County clerks must first seek a court order after providing notice and a hearing opportunity to the filer before rejecting or noting a filing as frivolous. If a court declares a filing frivolous, it has no legal effect, and the clerk must refund any fees paid within 10 days. The law takes effect on July 1, 2026.
