Military department-discrimination or harassment grievances.

HB 53 establishes a formal process for Wyoming National Guard members and military department employees to report discrimination or harassment. It requires the Wyoming Military Department and the Department of Workforce Services to coordinate on counseling, mediation, and investigations for such claims, aligning with federal anti-discrimination laws. The bill appropriates $201,188 for the Department of Workforce Services to implement this program, including authorizing one full-time position through 2024. This directly affects military personnel and employees who can now file formal complaints under this new system.
