Bill > HB0171

This bill amends Wyoming's legal definition of "explicit sexual conduct" in the context of sexual exploitation of children by expanding the current definition to include the chest or breasts of a female person alongside the existing categories of sexual acts and body part exhibitions. Specifically, the bill modifies Wyoming Statute 6-4-303(a)(iii), which defines explicit sexual conduct for purposes of prosecuting sexual exploitation of children, by inserting language that adds "the chest or breasts of a female person" to the list of body parts whose lascivious exhibition would be considered explicit sexual conduct. The amendment broadens the legal scope of what can be considered sexually exploitative imagery involving minors, potentially providing law enforcement and prosecutors with additional tools to address such cases. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, giving time for legal systems and stakeholders to prepare for the updated definition.
