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.
