Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to crimes and offenses; providing for a felony penalty for stalking offenses committed against minors; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends Wyoming Statute 6-2-506, which defines stalking and its penalties, by adding a new provision that makes stalking a felony offense when committed against a minor by an individual who is at least eighteen years old. Previously, felony stalking penalties applied if the stalking occurred in violation of probation, parole, bail, or a protection order. This change specifically addresses the vulnerability of minors by creating a distinct felony category for stalking them, aiming to provide stronger legal recourse and punishment for such offenses. The bill also specifies an effective date of July 1, 2026.
