Pharmacy benefit managers-prescription cost notification.

Maddy summaryHB 63 requires pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in Wyoming to stop blocking pharmacies from sharing prescription cost details with patients or offering cheaper drug alternatives. The law directly affects pharmacies and pharmacists, who can now freely disclose cost differences between a patient's insurance coverage and out-of-pocket prices, and suggest more affordable options when available. PBMs cannot penalize or restrict these disclosures through contracts. The bill took effect on July 1, 2019, aiming to increase transparency in prescription drug costs without changing drug pricing itself.

Protection of children-child endangerment amendments.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Wyoming law to strengthen protections for children under 16 by specifically prohibiting caregivers from exposing children to methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, or LSD in any setting (including manufacturing, storage, or use locations). It clarifies that "in the presence of a child" includes situations where a caregiver knows a child is present and may witness domestic violence or drug activity. The law also limits temporary protective custody to 48 hours for the affected child and 24 hours for siblings in the same household, requiring court orders for extended custody. These changes became effective July 1, 2019, directly impacting caregivers, law enforcement, and child protective agencies.

Wage offset for employee theft.

Maddy summaryThis Wyoming bill (SF 101) allows employers to deduct money from an employee's final paycheck to cover theft or damage caused by the employee. It applies to most employees but excludes commission-based sales agents with custody of company funds. Employers may only deduct if the employee admits the theft or a court determines it, and they cannot withhold wages for more than three months while pursuing legal action. The law modifies existing wage payment rules to clarify this deduction process.
