HB0114

Wyoming HB0114 requires public health emergency rules to exempt religious assemblies from business closures.

Wyoming HB0114 mandates that during public health emergencies, any rules or directives that exempt businesses from closure requirements must also exempt religious assemblies. This includes religious organizations, places of worship, and gatherings in private residences and public places. The bill allows aggrieved individuals to seek relief in court, including damages, costs, attorney fees, and exemplary or punitive damages for wanton or malicious violations. It also modifies the Wyoming Governmental Claims Act to exclude certain damages and fees in such cases.
