The proposed bill aims to enhance the protection of constitutional rights related to firearms and ammunition sales in Wyoming. It establishes prohibitions against the disclosure or use of information regarding these sales, mandates investigations into violations, and allows for civil actions and penalties. Key provisions include the creation of new definitions for terms such as "firearm," "ammunition," and "firearms retailer," as well as the introduction of penalties for violations, which can include misdemeanors punishable by imprisonment or fines. The bill also stipulates that no state or local government entity may maintain records of privately owned firearms or their owners, and it prohibits merchant servicers from discriminating against firearms retailers based on their sales.

Additionally, the bill amends existing laws to clarify the responsibilities of the attorney general in investigating violations and pursuing injunctions against non-compliant entities. It introduces a civil penalty of up to $10,000 for willful violations of the act, emphasizing the importance of protecting the rights of individuals under the Second Amendment and the Wyoming Constitution. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage, reinforcing the state's commitment to safeguarding the rights of firearm owners and retailers.
