Strangulation of a household member-amendments.

This Wyoming bill (SF 183) amends the state's strangulation law to explicitly include intentionally blocking a household member's nose or mouth as a criminal act. It directly affects domestic violence victims and perpetrators by expanding the definition of "strangulation" to cover this specific choking behavior. The key change adds "blocking covering the nose, and mouth or both" to the list of actions that constitute the crime under W.S. 6-2-509. The law defines "household member" using existing statutes (W.S. 35-21-102) and takes effect July 1, 2023. This is a policy change clarifying criminal conduct in domestic violence cases, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
