Introduced · Wyoming House · Co-sponsor

Manslaughter amendments.

Maddy summaryHB 150 amends Wyoming's manslaughter law to add two new scenarios: (1) helping someone die by suicide (except when healthcare decisions follow Wyoming's Health Care Decisions Act), and (2) failing to provide necessary medical care to a newborn after a live birth (except in cases involving abortion). The bill directly affects individuals who assist in suicides or neglect newborns, making these actions punishable as manslaughter. Key exceptions clarify that standard healthcare decisions and abortion-related cases are excluded from the new provisions. The law would take effect July 1, 2022, if enacted.
