This bill amends W.S. 17-28-108 to require registered agents to provide records maintained under W.S. 17-28-107 to government entities and bona fide law enforcement agencies upon request, without the need for a subpoena. New subsections (f) and (g) are added to define the terms "bona fide law enforcement agency" and "government entity," clarifying that these entities include lawfully established public agencies responsible for crime prevention and detection, as well as various state and local governmental bodies.

Additionally, the bill maintains the confidentiality of records obtained by the Secretary of State, but it allows for the release of such records to government entities and bona fide law enforcement agencies. The bill does not specify penalties for failure to comply with these new requirements, but it suggests that the Committee may consider amending existing penalties under W.S. 17-28-109 to include violations related to the new provisions. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
