SJ 9 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Individual right to privacy-constitutional amendment.

This bill (SJ 9) proposes adding a constitutional amendment to Wyoming's constitution that would establish a fundamental right to individual privacy. It would create Article 1, Section 40 stating: "The right of individual privacy is essential to the well-being of a free society and shall not be infringed." The amendment requires voter approval at the next general election to become part of the state constitution. As a constitutional amendment proposal, it directly affects all Wyoming residents by potentially altering the state's foundational legal protections. (Note: The bill died in committee on March 3, 2025, and did not advance further.)
