Penalties for mandating COVID-19 vaccinations-2.
HB 1020 prohibits Wyoming public officials and entities from enforcing or implementing federal mandates requiring COVID-19 vaccinations or related preventative treatments (like nasal sprays or pills). It directly affects state/local government employees, elected officials, and public schools or services that might face federal vaccine requirements. Violations would result in misdemeanor charges (up to 1 year in jail, $10 million fine), termination from public employment, and loss of retirement benefits. The bill also allows individuals harmed by such enforcement to sue the public servant responsible.
