Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to public health and safety; prohibiting health mandates and requirements for COVID-19 and any variant thereof by specified federal and nongovernmental health organizations; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill aims to prohibit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) from having any jurisdiction or legal authority in Wyoming regarding COVID-19 health mandates. Specifically, the bill creates a new statute that explicitly states that any requirements, mandates, recommendations, instructions, or guidance provided by these organizations regarding COVID-19 and its variants—such as mask wearing, vaccination, or medical testing—will not be legally binding or enforceable within the state of Wyoming. The bill takes effect immediately upon completing the standard legislative process for becoming law, as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution. By enacting this legislation, Wyoming would essentially nullify federal and international health organization recommendations related to COVID-19 prevention measures, preventing state and local authorities from implementing such guidelines.
