The bill modifies the Wyoming Governmental Claims Act to expand the definition of "public employee" to include volunteers and school district employees who serve as roadway crossing guards for public school districts. Specifically, it adds a new subparagraph (H) to W.S. 1-39-103(a)(iv), clarifying that these individuals are acting on behalf of or in service of a legally organized public school district.
The act is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all necessary legislative procedures as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution. This change aims to provide legal recognition and protection for crossing guard volunteers and faculty, enhancing the safety and support for school children in the state.
