Unincorporated nonprofit associations-amendments.
This Wyoming bill (SF 22) creates a new legal structure called "decentralized unincorporated nonprofit associations" for groups with 100+ members working toward a common nonprofit purpose using digital systems. It clarifies that members and administrators won't face personal liability for the association's contracts or torts, and requires assets to be distributed per federal law when the association dissolves. The bill updates definitions to include terms like "governing principles" (rules governing the group) and "distributed ledger protocol" (digital systems for voting), while removing outdated provisions. It directly affects nonprofits seeking to operate under this specific decentralized model, particularly those using blockchain or digital governance tools.
