Cold case database and investigations.
HB 29 requires Wyoming's Attorney General's Division of Criminal Investigation to create and maintain a centralized database for unsolved homicides and felony sexual offenses (defined as cases unresolved for 3+ years after reporting). It mandates all state law enforcement agencies to submit specific case information to this database for cases reported on or after January 1, 1972. The bill appropriates $150,000 for database development and subsequent cold case investigations, with funds first used for the database and any remaining funds allocated to active investigations. The Attorney General must issue implementing rules and report on the database's progress by October 15, 2024.
