SF 58 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Wyoming Indian Child Welfare Act sunset repeal.

This bill repeals the sunset provision in Wyoming's Indian Child Welfare Act (W.S. 14-6-715(b)), ensuring the law continues without an automatic expiration date. It directly affects Native American children and families in Wyoming by preserving existing protections under the state's child welfare framework. The key provision removes the scheduled end date, extending the law's validity indefinitely. The change takes effect on July 1, 2026.

MINOR
The bill was finalized and enrolled for signing, transitioning from a draft Senate file to an official enrolled act. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, as the core text regarding the repeal of the Indian Child Welfare Act sunset date and the effective date of July 1, 2026, was retained. The primary changes involve formatting updates, such as adding the 'Enrolled Act' designation and removing draft markers.
TECHNICAL

Updated the document header to reflect its status as an 'Enrolled Act' and removed draft formatting indicators like file numbers and committee sponsorship notes.
