SF 69 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Electronic records retention.

This bill (SF 69) allows Wyoming court clerks to digitize physical court records instead of keeping paper copies, directly affecting county court offices. It amends Wyoming Statute 5-7-103 to explicitly permit scanning and retaining digital copies in a case management system, while removing the requirement to store physical documents. The change applies to most court cases but excludes probate matters, and clerks must follow specific disposal rules (W.S. 9-2-411) for original documents. The law takes effect July 1, 2023.
