Public records act revisions.

This bill revises Wyoming's Public Records Act to clarify and strengthen access to government documents. It requires government entities to acknowledge requests within 3 business days and release records within 30 calendar days (with possible 30-day extensions authorized by the ombudsman for valid reasons). The bill standardizes fees for copies, increases penalties for violations from $750 to $2,000, and allows attorney fees when enforcing compliance. It directly affects all state and local government entities handling public records and citizens making requests. The changes take effect July 1, 2026.
