Bill > HB0116

This bill establishes new restrictions on driver's licenses and driving privileges for unauthorized aliens in Wyoming. Specifically, the bill defines an "unauthorized alien" as a person who is not a U.S. citizen and is not lawfully admitted to the United States. Any driver's license or nonresident operating privilege document issued to such a person, or any document that indicates the holder did not provide proof of lawful U.S. presence, will be considered invalid in Wyoming. The bill amends existing state laws to incorporate these restrictions, affecting exemptions for nonresidents, government employees, military personnel, and students. It requires that these individuals' out-of-state licenses must either be valid under the new law or demonstrate lawful U.S. presence to be recognized in Wyoming. Driving with an invalid license under these new provisions would be treated as a misdemeanor, potentially resulting in fines up to $750 or imprisonment for up to six months. The Wyoming Department of Transportation is tasked with creating rules to implement these changes, with most provisions becoming effective on July 1, 2025.
