The proposed bill, known as the "Wyoming Religious Freedom Restoration Act," aims to protect individuals' rights to exercise their religion by limiting governmental actions that may burden such freedoms. It defines key terms such as "burden," "exercise of religion," "government," and "person," establishing a framework for understanding the scope of the law. The bill stipulates that government actions should not impose a burden on religious exercise, even if such actions are generally applicable, and it sets forth conditions under which the government may impose a burden, requiring that it must serve a compelling government interest and be the least restrictive means of achieving that interest.

Additionally, the bill allows individuals whose religious exercise has been unlawfully burdened to file claims in court for appropriate relief. It emphasizes that the provisions of the act should be interpreted liberally, while also clarifying that it does not permit actions that are inconsistent with public safety or health laws. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2023.
