SF 101 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Second amendment protection act amendments-3.

Wyoming's SF 101 prohibits state and local government entities from using state funds or personnel to enforce federal laws regulating firearms, accessories, or ammunition that conflict with the Second Amendment. It directly affects state agencies, law enforcement, and political subdivisions by banning the use of Wyoming appropriations for such enforcement. Key provisions create civil penalties of $50,000 per violation for agencies that violate this ban, criminal penalties (up to 1 year in jail or $2,000 fine) for officers who knowingly enforce conflicting federal rules, and allow lawsuits against violators. The bill explicitly permits cooperation with federal authorities on matters unrelated to gun regulations and exempts agencies accepting federal funds for other law enforcement purposes.
