SF 79 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

District courts-change of venue.

SF 79 creates a new rule for civil cases filed in the wrong district court in Wyoming. It allows courts to transfer such cases to a proper venue, and treats the transferred case as if it were originally filed in that correct location. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2025, and applies directly to parties involved in civil lawsuits filed in an incorrect court.
