The bill amends existing laws regarding protection orders in Wyoming, specifically addressing the effectiveness of such orders during the appeal or review process. It introduces new subsections to W.S. 7-3-510 and 35-21-106, stating that protection orders granted under these statutes will remain in effect while any appeal or review is pending. This provision ensures that the protection remains in place unless a court issues a stay during the appeal or review period.

Additionally, the bill establishes an effective date of July 1, 2025, for these changes. The intent of the legislation is to enhance the protection of individuals under stalking, sexual assault, and domestic violence orders by ensuring that these protections are not diminished during legal proceedings related to the orders.
