The bill amends the existing law regarding the training requirements for public officers in Wyoming. It establishes that the minimum training requirements shall not exceed four hours and can be completed in a virtual format during the public officer's personal time. Additionally, the bill specifies that failure to comply with these training requirements will not be grounds for recommending the removal of a public officer from their position.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the language surrounding the consequences of neglecting training requirements. It removes the provision that allowed for the removal of a public officer for failing to comply with the minimum training requirements within one year of assuming office. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of the training while providing flexibility in how it can be completed, thereby aiming to enhance accessibility for public officers. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2024.
