Prohibiting drones over penal institutions.
Wyoming's SF 32 prohibits using drones to photograph, deliver contraband, or bring weapons into prisons or correctional facilities. It directly affects individuals or entities attempting drone operations near these facilities, excluding authorized government, law enforcement, and emergency agency uses. Violations carry misdemeanor penalties (up to 1 year in jail or $2,000 fine) for contraband delivery, and felony penalties (up to 10 years or $10,000 fine) for weapon delivery. Prison officials may take reasonable actions to stop violations, with the Corrections Department required to create implementing rules.
