Liability for governmental healthcare providers-amendment.

This bill clarifies that Wyoming's Governmental Claims Act applies to government healthcare providers (like contract physicians, nurses, and dentists working in state institutions or county jails) only for claims of medical malpractice, not general negligence. It specifically amends statutes to replace "negligence" with "medical malpractice" in liability standards and ensures volunteer healthcare providers delivering services under state contracts are treated as public employees for liability purposes. The law applies to all cases occurring on or after July 1, 2022, and requires the state to defend providers against malpractice claims when they cooperate with specified procedures. This change narrows the scope of liability for government healthcare providers while maintaining existing claim processes.
