HB 315 Wyoming House · 2019 General Session

Forfeiture exemptions.

HB 315 amends Wyoming's drug forfeiture law to exempt certain property from seizure and forfeiture. It specifically protects homesteads (per Wyoming's homestead laws), motor vehicles valued under $2,500, and cash amounts of $1,000 or less. The bill also prohibits seizing money, securities, or negotiable instruments solely based on possession without evidence of a drug law violation. These changes directly affect property owners and law enforcement by limiting when assets can be taken in drug-related cases. The bill was introduced in 2019 but did not advance beyond committee.
