Background checks-governor's office.
Wyoming's SF 129 requires criminal background checks for all employees, interns, and job applicants in the governor's office who handle confidential information. It amends state law to mandate fingerprinting and criminal history record checks as a condition for employment or internships in the governor's office. The bill explicitly grants the governor authority to obtain these background checks and specifies that such checks are required for anyone accessing sensitive state records. The law took effect immediately upon becoming law in January 2023.
