Obscenity-impartial conformance.
This bill repeals a specific exception in Wyoming law (W.S. 6-4-302(c)(ii)) that previously allowed educational institutions to possess obscene materials for "bona fide educational purposes" without facing charges for promoting obscenity. It removes this legal exemption, meaning possessing such materials for educational use would no longer be exempt from obscenity laws. The change takes effect on July 1, 2025, directly affecting schools, libraries, and other educational entities that may handle materials previously covered by this exception.
