Criminal record dissemination-military department.
Wyoming's SF 40 authorizes the military department to access criminal history records for specific purposes, directly affecting prospective employees, volunteers, and active-duty or Wyoming National Guard military members. The bill requires these individuals to undergo fingerprinting as a condition for employment, training, deployment, mobilization, or security clearance decisions. It specifies that criminal history information may only be disclosed when required by the military department for those defined purposes. The law became effective July 1, 2022, and amends existing statutes to clarify these procedures.
