Visitation rights.

Wyoming's SF 80 mandates that hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, and other 24-hour care facilities must allow visitation for patients. It requires facilities to permit visitors while permitting reasonable restrictions (like visitor limits, timing, or safety equipment) and to provide written visitation policies to patients or their representatives. The law explicitly excludes patients involuntarily detained under certain legal codes or individuals incarcerated by the state. Facilities must visibly post current visitation rules and allow patients to designate or block visitors. The bill takes effect July 1, 2023.
