This bill amends W.S. 17-28-108 to enhance the responsibilities of registered agents regarding the production of records. New subsections (f) and (g) are added, which require registered agents to provide records maintained under W.S. 17-28-107 upon request from government entities or bona fide law enforcement agencies without the need for a subpoena. The bill also defines "bona fide law enforcement agency" and "government entity," clarifying the types of organizations that can request these records.
Additionally, the bill maintains the confidentiality of records obtained by the Secretary of State, but it allows for the release of such records to the specified entities upon request. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025. The bill aims to streamline the process for law enforcement and government agencies to access necessary records while ensuring that the confidentiality of sensitive information is still considered.
