AI Summary

This bill prohibits government entities, financial institutions, and other persons from keeping records or registries of privately owned firearms or their owners in Wyoming, unless specifically required by law. It also prohibits financial institutions from requiring the use of a "firearms code" (a merchant category code specifically for retailers of firearms, accessories, or ammunition) in a way that distinguishes firearm entities from general merchandise or sporting goods retailers. The bill allows the state attorney general to investigate and enforce violations, including through injunctions and civil penalties. The bill also amends existing state law to prohibit financial institutions from discriminating against firearm entities based solely on the assignment or non-assignment of a firearms code.
