The bill amends Wyoming's criminal procedure regarding the registration of sex offenders, specifically addressing the eligibility for relief from registration. It establishes that certain offenders, particularly those adjudicated as delinquents for specific offenses against minors, will not be eligible for relief from their registration duties. The new subsections (e) and (f) detail the offenses that disqualify offenders from seeking relief, including various sexual offenses against victims under the age of thirteen and those involving victims aged thirteen to fifteen.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the changes will only apply to offenders convicted or adjudicated for registerable offenses on or after July 1, 2024, with the act taking effect on that same date. This legislation aims to tighten the regulations surrounding sex offender registration and ensure that individuals convicted of serious offenses against minors remain registered for life without the possibility of relief.
