SF 14 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Wyoming national guard professional malpractice liability.

SF 14 (Wyoming National Guard Professional Malpractice Liability) expands state protection for licensed professionals serving in the Wyoming National Guard. The bill amends existing law to extend malpractice indemnity - meaning the state will cover financial liability - to *all* licensed professionals (not just doctors or attorneys) who perform their civilian duties while on military service. This applies if the professional was acting in their military role during the alleged mistake, regardless of their actual military status at the time. The change took effect July 1, 2023, directly affecting licensed professionals (e.g., nurses, engineers) serving in the Guard.
