This bill amends existing laws regarding the definition of a "vehicle" in the context of driving under the influence (DUI) violations in Wyoming. Specifically, it clarifies that the term "vehicle" does not include horses, mules, or other equines when they are being ridden by a person. This change is reflected in the amendments to W.S. 31-5-233(a) and W.S. 31-5-234(a), where new paragraphs (ix) and (v) are added, respectively, to specify this exclusion.

The bill aims to provide clarity in the law by explicitly stating that equines are not considered vehicles for the purposes of DUI offenses. This distinction is important for legal interpretations and enforcement. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
