Defense of state banking-1.
Wyoming's SF 135 requires the state Attorney General to defend the state's dual banking system when federal or other state regulators allegedly treat Wyoming-chartered banks unfairly. The bill creates a new legal provision (W.S. 13-1-901) directing the Attorney General to investigate complaints from Wyoming banks about unlawful disparate treatment and take action to ensure fair treatment. It directly affects Wyoming state-chartered banks and the state government, aiming to protect Wyoming's banking revenue and regulatory framework. The law becomes effective July 1, 2025, without changing existing banking regulations but adding a defense mechanism for state banks.
