Earlier this month, the 2024 Wyoming 20-day legislative session adjourned sine die. This means the session is completed for the year.
This year, the legislative session was quiet for sportsmen. Only a handful of sportsmen-related bills were introduced. One important bill made it to Gov. Mark Gordon, which he signed into law last week.
Senate File 105, the “Second Amendment Financial Privacy Act,” prohibits credit card processors from using or assigning a firearms or ammunition merchant category code (MCC) to any merchant located in Wyoming that is a seller of firearms or ammunition separately from general merchandise retailers or sporting goods retailers. SF 105 also prohibits any state governmental or private entity and local government from knowingly or willfully keeping any list, record, or registry of privately owned firearms or any list, record, or registry of the owners of those firearms created or maintained through the use of a firearms code.
Even though the 2024 legislative session is over, the Sportsmen’s Alliance will continue to monitor activities in the Equality State. You never know when issues that sportsmen need to be aware of may arise.
