Cash payment-governmental entities.
SF 97 requires all Wyoming government entities (including state agencies, counties, cities, schools, and public colleges) to accept cash payments for in-person transactions like fees, fines, taxes, and event admissions. It prohibits these entities from charging extra fees solely because someone pays with cash, though they may still collect authorized fees regardless of payment method. The bill defines "cash" as physical U.S. coins and paper currency and takes effect on July 1, 2026. This law directly affects anyone paying government fees in person across Wyoming.
