Bill > HB0135

This bill prohibits public officials, defined as any officer, employee, agent, or servant of a government entity (including elected or appointed officials) in Wyoming, from entering into nondisclosure agreements that would prevent them from revealing information about the use of public funds, financial obligations, or impacts on land, infrastructure, water, or power related to public-funded projects, which are any activities using or committing public funds or creating ongoing obligations for the government. The bill also prevents public officials from pursuing public-funded projects if nondisclosure is a condition of discussion or due diligence, and any agreement violating these provisions will be void and unenforceable. Violators face misdemeanor charges with fines up to $1,000, and such violations can be grounds for termination or removal from office, with any Wyoming resident having the right to seek legal action to void such agreements. This act applies to agreements made after its effective date and does not affect existing contracts.
