HB 51 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

Public indecency-intimidation.

HB 51 amends Wyoming's public indecency law to specifically prohibit exposing intimate parts in public places with the intent to intimidate or harass others, in addition to the existing prohibition for sexual arousal. This directly affects individuals who expose intimate parts in view of others intending to cause fear or distress. The key change adds "intimidate or harass" as a separate prohibited intent under the law, expanding the circumstances where such exposure becomes a criminal offense. The bill would take effect July 1, 2024, if enacted. The bill failed committee passage in February 2024.
