AN ACT relating to the administration of government; prohibiting the state and its political subdivisions from compelling speech as specified; authorizing a civil remedy; providing an exception to the Wyoming governmental claims act; and providing for an effective date.


WFA COMMENTARY:

Wyoming Family Alliance supports the right of every individual to speak honestly and truthfully. No government should threaten a person by compelling them to speak against their conscience.


WFA UPDATES:

3/4/24 – Sad news to report: this bill, which protects state employees from having to call a man a woman and vice versa, was allowed to die through inaction. We must continue the work to protect the freedom of conscience of all Wyoming citizens.

2/27/28 – This legislation has made it through the third and final reading in the Senate on a vote of 21-10. This means that the bill has passed all the way through the Senate and will crossover to the House of Representatives.

2/26/24 – This legislation has made it through the second reading in the Senate. There is one more step in that chamber before it can crossover to the House of Representatives.

2/23/24 – This legislation has made it through the first reading in the Senate. There are two more steps in that chamber before it can crossover to the House of Representatives.
