HB 44 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Revisor's bill.

This bill (HB 44) is a technical correction to fix errors in Wyoming's existing statutes, not a new policy. It amends three specific sections of law to correct outdated references, typos, and inconsistencies (e.g., updating definitions and clarifying legal citations). The changes will not alter how laws function or affect any individuals or entities, as they only address minor drafting errors in the text of the statutes themselves. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, but has no substantive policy impact.

MODERATE
The bill was finalized and enrolled, moving from a draft introduced version to an official enacted act. The text was cleaned up to remove internal legislative markings and formatting errors. Substantively, the bill amends multiple existing statutes to grant immunity from civil and criminal liability to specific government officials, including the Attorney General, public defenders, parole boards, and corrections boards, protecting them from lawsuits for their official duties.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on statutory revision and liability exemptions for government officials, but the final text clarifies the list of protected statutes and removes conflicting or obsolete references.
TECHNICAL

Removed internal legislative headers, page numbers, and draft annotations to produce a clean, final version of the law.

REQUIREMENT

Updated the list of specific Wyoming statutes being amended to ensure they accurately reflect current law and remove obsolete references.

ENFORCEMENT

Added specific immunity clauses for the Attorney General and Division of Criminal Investigation regarding concealed firearms permits and expungement records.

Extended immunity protections to the State Public Defender and their attorneys, treating them as state employees for claims purposes.

Granted immunity to parole boards and corrections boards from liability for their actions and omissions, except in cases of intentional torts or illegal acts.
