HB 1002: Emergency government action-Covid-19.

HB 1002 is an emergency Wyoming bill addressing pandemic impacts. It creates a temporary program to prevent evictions by reimbursing property owners who lost 25% or more rental income due to COVID-19, using state funds and federal assistance. The bill also modifies worker's compensation to presume that COVID-19 contracted during work increases employment risk, and blocks employer experience rating charges for such claims. Additionally, it authorizes the governor to partner with federal agencies for short-term unemployment support under the CARES Act, with programs ending March 15, 2021.

HB 1001: Emergency appropriation-COVID-19 funds.

HB 1001 authorizes Wyoming to spend $1.25 billion in federal CARES Act funds to address the economic and public health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. It directs funding toward four priority areas: immediate emergency response (like hospital support), direct aid to affected businesses and residents, economic development projects (such as infrastructure), and replacing lost state/local government revenue. The bill requires state agencies to report on how funds are spent and ensures they align with federal guidelines. This funding directly supports Wyoming residents, local governments, and essential services during the crisis.

SF 1004: COVID-19 business relief programs-2.

This bill creates the Wyoming Business Interruption Stipend Program to provide direct financial relief to small businesses impacted by pandemic-related closures. It authorizes the Wyoming Business Council to reimburse eligible businesses (those with 50 or fewer full-time employees as of March 31, 2020, independently owned, and headquartered in Wyoming) for losses due to required closures ordered by state or local governments starting March 15, 2020. Payments are set at $15,000 base plus $2,000 per full-time employee or equivalent, funded using CARES Act relief funds allocated to Wyoming. The program requires businesses to submit applications and certify eligibility and actual losses before receiving payments.

SF 1003: Emergency budgeting-COVID-19-2.

This bill (SF 1003) provides emergency budget flexibility during the 2020-2021 fiscal year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It adjusts how Wyoming school districts calculate their operating balances (raising the threshold from 15% to 25% of foundation funds for FY2020-2021) and allows the governor to transfer up to 50% of agency funds internally or 25% between agencies to address pandemic impacts. It also prevents unspent general fund money from reverting to the state treasury by July 2020, instead reapplying it to cover budget shortfalls through June 2022. These provisions directly affect school districts, state agencies, and the state government’s budget management during the emergency period.

SF 1005: Coronavirus immunity provisions.

SF 1005 grants immunity from civil lawsuits to businesses and property owners in Wyoming for alleged coronavirus exposure or illness on their premises, provided the exposure was unintentional. It defines "business entity" broadly to include corporations, nonprofits, and employees acting within their job scope, while excluding immunity for intentional acts like deliberately exposing someone to coronavirus. The law applies to all claims arising from coronavirus exposure occurring on or after its effective date, which was immediate upon enactment. This policy change directly affects businesses, landlords, and property managers by limiting their legal liability during the pandemic for unintentional coronavirus-related claims.
