SJ 6 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Shared parenting day.

This bill designates April 26 as "Shared Parenting Day" in Wyoming through a ceremonial resolution. It does not change custody laws or create new obligations; instead, it formally recognizes the state's commitment to raising awareness about shared parenting arrangements. The resolution cites research on child well-being benefits when children maintain relationships with both parents after separation or divorce. This designation applies statewide and aims to promote community reflection on shared parenting, affecting all Wyoming residents through annual observance.

MINOR
The bill was converted from a draft introduction to its final enrolled version, retaining the core policy of designating April 26 as 'Shared Parenting Day' in Wyoming. While the text was reorganized and some 'Whereas' clauses were reordered or slightly rephrased for clarity, the substantive legal effect remains unchanged.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains the same; it continues to apply to the entire state of Wyoming for the specific date of April 26 each year.
TECHNICAL

The bill's text was reorganized and renumbered to match the formal enrolled format, including the addition of certification signatures and session details.

The order and specific wording of the introductory 'Whereas' clauses were adjusted slightly to improve flow, but the underlying arguments supporting the bill remain identical.
