SF 53 Wyoming House · 2019 General Session

Government contracts-labor organization.

Wyoming's SF 53 bans government entities from requiring or favoring union membership in construction contracts. It prohibits state agencies, counties, schools, and other public bodies from including terms that force contractors to join labor organizations or discriminate based on union status for projects like building construction, repairs, or infrastructure work. The law applies to all construction-related contracts and grants awarded after July 1, 2019, with exemptions only allowed if an imminent health or safety threat requires them. This directly affects contractors bidding on public construction projects across Wyoming.
