Working animal protection act.

Maddy summaryHB 66, the Working Animal Protection Act, prohibits Wyoming cities, towns, and counties from creating or enforcing local ordinances that ban or restrict the use of "working animals" in lawful commerce or animal enterprises. It directly affects local governments and businesses using animals for work (such as ranching, transportation, or tourism), while exempting zoning laws and public health/safety regulations. The bill defines "working animals" broadly to include animals used for specific duties (e.g., service, agriculture, or tourism), but explicitly excludes food/fiber animals like cattle, sheep, or poultry. It became effective July 1, 2022, and overrides conflicting local policies enacted before that date.

President Donald J. Trump Highway.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates Wyoming State Highway 258 as the "President Donald J. Trump Highway" and requires the state Department of Transportation to install signage identifying the route. The signage must be installed with consultation from the city of Casper, and the department may accept donations to cover costs (reducing the state appropriation by the donation amount). The bill appropriates $2,800 from the general fund for signage installation, with unspent funds reverting by June 30, 2024. It affects state highway naming procedures and signage costs, directly impacting the Department of Transportation and local officials in Casper.

Lodging sales tax-exemption.

Maddy summaryHB 25 exempts certain lodging services provided by licensed guides and outfitters from Wyoming's sales tax. Specifically, it removes the tax on temporary accommodations like tents, snow shelters, base camps, and other temporary shelters used by these licensed businesses. The exemption applies to services distributed through existing tax codes (W.S. 39-15-211(a)(ii)) and covers all forms of temporary lodging they provide. This change directly affects Wyoming-based guide and outfitter businesses operating under W.S. 23-2-407. The bill took effect July 1, 2022.

Ban on teaching and training critical race theory.

Maddy summaryWyoming's HB 97 bans public school teachers and administrators (K-12) from using public funds to teach specific concepts related to race, ethnicity, or national origin. It prohibits instruction that suggests any group is inherently superior/inferior, blames individuals for past actions of others, or labels people as "racist" based on identity. The bill allows teaching historical context, such as oppression of groups or primary sources, when presented holistically. Violators face disciplinary action, civil fines up to $5,000 per violation, and lawsuits by affected individuals. The law explicitly excludes training on sexual harassment or abuse recognition.
