What changed

SF0101 proposed substantial amendments to Wyoming's Second Amendment Protection Act, including creating exceptions to the act, establishing civil penalties, creating criminal penalties, and making an exception to the Wyoming Governmental Claims Act. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Dennis Biteman and underwent multiple Senate and House floor amendments before final passage.

Since Governor Gordon vetoed the bill and the veto override failed (12-18, short of the two-thirds majority needed), SF0101 will not become law. No compliance actions are required as the bill has no legal effect. Parties who monitored this legislation should note that the Second Amendment Protection Act remains unchanged.
