HB 209 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

Possession of alcohol-amendments.

HB 209 modifies Wyoming's law regarding underage alcohol possession by reducing penalties and creating automatic record expungement. It changes the penalty for minors under 21 found possessing, consuming, or having measurable alcohol in their system from a misdemeanor to a $250 fine, and automatically expunges the conviction from all records six months after the fine is paid. This applies to convictions occurring on or after July 1, 2024, and removes the need for a separate court request to clear the record. The bill directly affects individuals under 21 convicted of these specific alcohol violations.
