SJ 6: Shared parenting day.

This bill designates April 26 as "Shared Parenting Day" in Wyoming through a ceremonial resolution. It does not change custody laws or create new obligations; instead, it formally recognizes the state's commitment to raising awareness about shared parenting arrangements. The resolution cites research on child well-being benefits when children maintain relationships with both parents after separation or divorce. This designation applies statewide and aims to promote community reflection on shared parenting, affecting all Wyoming residents through annual observance.

SF 1: General government appropriations.

SF 1 is a funding bill that allocates state resources for Wyoming's government operations during the 2026-2028 fiscal biennium. It provides specific funding amounts for state agencies, including $9.1 million for the Governor's Office administration and $22.9 million for Homeland Security, with all funds to be spent within the two-year budget period. The bill includes a $250,000 provision specifically for gubernatorial transition costs if a new governor is elected in 2026, and it specifies how funds from various accounts (like school foundation programs) will be used. This is a standard appropriations bill that sets funding levels for state operations, not a policy change.

SJ 9: Keeping public lands protected and decisions local.

Wyoming's SJ 9 is a joint resolution urging Congress to protect the state's access to federal public lands while ensuring local communities have a say in land management decisions. It opposes broad or indiscriminate sales of public lands and demands federal agencies respect Wyoming's existing land-use plans, county-level input, and multiple-use frameworks that support recreation, agriculture, hunting, fishing, and resource development. The resolution also calls for funding to streamline efficient land exchanges under current laws when they benefit local communities and public access, without advocating for specific policy changes.

HB 126: Human heartbeat act.

Wyoming's HB 126, the "Human heartbeat act," prohibits most abortion procedures after a detectable fetal heartbeat is identified (typically around 6 weeks gestation), directly affecting pregnant individuals seeking abortions and healthcare providers performing them. The bill requires healthcare providers to confirm a detectable heartbeat via standard medical equipment before proceeding with an abortion, except in cases of medical emergencies that threaten the patient's life or major bodily function. Violations are classified as felonies punishable by up to five years in prison or $10,000 fines, and healthcare professionals face mandatory license revocation for noncompliance. The law creates new definitions, exceptions for medical emergencies, and penalties for violations, effective upon enactment.

SF 81: K-12 public school finance-2.

Wyoming's SF 81 revises how state funds support K-12 public schools by implementing updated funding formulas based on the 2025 cost of education study. The bill establishes specific teacher staffing requirements: core teachers (1 FTE per 16-25 students depending on grade level), minimum teacher thresholds for smaller schools, and additional staff for English learners (1 FTE per 100 students), at-risk students (for summer/extended day programs), and career education. It directly affects all Wyoming public school districts by changing how state education funds are distributed based on student needs and school size, rather than solely on enrollment. The bill also restricts how schools can spend funds from the school foundation program and requires districts to join the state employees' health insurance program.

HB 92: Registered sex offenders prohibited from public office.

Wyoming's HB 92 prohibits individuals convicted of sex offenses from holding specific public offices. The bill bars registered sex offenders (as defined by Wyoming law) from running for or serving as school district trustees, community college board members, county/district attorneys, county commissioners, city/town governing body members, mayors, or county sheriffs. Election officials must refuse to certify ineligible candidates, and those already in office would be deemed vacant. The law takes effect July 1, 2026, applying to all offices filled on or after that date.

HB 80: Identification cards-renewal for care facility residents.

This bill allows residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Wyoming to renew their state-issued identification cards by mail instead of appearing in person. To qualify, residents must be full-time facility occupants, submit a notarized attestation from facility staff, pay a fee, provide documentation for any ID changes, and surrender their old card. The renewal method cannot be used if a resident has already renewed twice in 16 years or is changing information on their ID. The Wyoming Department of Transportation must create rules to implement this process, which takes effect July 1, 2026.

SF 121: Wyoming Pharmacy Act amendments.

This bill amends Wyoming's Pharmacy Act to raise the minimum age for pharmacists to administer vaccines from 3 to 7 years old, directly affecting children under 7 who previously could receive immunizations from pharmacists. It also adds protections preventing employers from discriminating against pharmacists who decline to provide collaborative pharmacy care or administer vaccines to children under 13. The bill requires the Board of Pharmacy to create rules for collaborative care and vaccine administration, with most provisions taking effect July 1, 2026. These changes clarify pharmacist authority, patient eligibility, and workplace protections under the state's pharmacy regulations.

SF 106: Welfare Fraud Prevention Act Amendments.

SF 106 amends Wyoming's welfare and Medicaid eligibility rules to strengthen verification processes. It requires monthly checks of residency and death records, bans self-attestation for income, citizenship, and household composition without verification, and limits retroactive Medicaid coverage to two months. The bill directly affects welfare applicants and recipients, including both citizens and noncitizens, by tightening eligibility requirements. Key provisions include shorter recertification periods for unstable households (up to 4 months) and mandatory reporting to the legislature on program impacts. These changes aim to prevent program misuse while aligning with federal requirements.

SF 99: Prescriptive easements for electricity delivery.

This bill creates a legal right for electric utilities to maintain existing power lines installed before 2006 across private land, without requiring written agreements. It directly affects landowners with pre-2006 lines and utilities that historically relied on informal neighborly cooperation for rural electrification. Key provisions require lines to be visibly installed, continuously used, and limit easements to 30 feet wide, while preventing utilities from expanding rights beyond original historic use. The law protects landowners from unreasonable utility burdens and ensures existing informal arrangements receive legal recognition.

HB 145: Removing triple taxation for resident EV drivers.

HB 145 replaces multiple existing fees for electric vehicles with a single per-kilowatt-hour tax on electricity used to power them. It reduces the annual decal fee for plug-in hybrid vehicles from $200 to $100 and sets a $200 annual fee for all-electric vehicles (previously subject to overlapping taxes). The bill allows EV owners to receive refunds for electricity purchased for vehicle use and requires clear display of the new electricity-based tax. This directly affects Wyoming residents who own electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles by eliminating "triple taxation" on their vehicles and shifting the tax burden to electricity usage.
