The bill amends existing laws regarding the issuance of driver's licenses and identification cards in Wyoming for individuals who are not United States citizens but possess lawful alien status as recognized by federal law. Specifically, it introduces new provisions that require these licenses and identification cards to explicitly state "Not a U.S." to indicate the holder's non-citizen status. This new language is added to W.S. 31-7-115(a) and W.S. 31-8-102, ensuring that the identification clearly reflects the holder's legal status.

The act will apply to all licenses and identification cards issued on or after January 1, 2026, and mandates the Department of Transportation to establish any necessary rules for implementation by that date. While the majority of the act becomes effective on January 1, 2026, certain sections related to rulemaking and the act's overall effectiveness will take effect immediately upon the completion of legislative procedures.
