Summary
Bill Description
AN ACT relating to protection of constitutional rights; providing a misdemeanor offense for violations of the Prohibit Red Flag Gun Seizure Act; and providing for an effective date.
Notes
HB98 strengthens the enforcement of Wyoming’s Prohibit Red Flag Gun Seizure Act by adding clear criminal penalties for knowing violations of the law. Current statute allows for civil remedies, but without criminal consequences, the law lacks meaningful deterrence. HB98 closes that gap by making intentional violations a misdemeanor offense.
This is important because laws that protect constitutional rights must have real consequences when they are knowingly violated. Without enforcement teeth, protections can be ignored or undermined with little accountability. HB98 ensures that individuals or officials who intentionally disregard the protections in Wyoming law face appropriate legal consequences.
The bill reinforces the seriousness of respecting due process and constitutional protections. It does not change existing rights or procedures. It simply adds accountability when those rights are knowingly violated. HB98 strengthens the rule of law and ensures that protections on paper are protections in practice.
