Bill > SF0101

This bill amends the Second Amendment Protection Act to create new liabilities and penalties for governmental entities and their employees who enforce federal regulations on firearms, firearm accessories, magazines, and ammunition. Specifically, it establishes that a governmental entity is liable for damages resulting from such violations and creates exceptions to the general immunity provided by the Wyoming Governmental Claims Act, allowing for civil penalties of $50,000 per violation and injunctive relief against agencies that employ officers who knowingly violate these provisions. The bill also clarifies that "law abiding citizen" means someone not prohibited by state law from possessing a firearm and not illegally present in the United States or Wyoming, and defines "material aid" to include various forms of support but excludes medical assistance or help for those escaping life-threatening danger. The act takes effect on July 1, 2026.
