Summary
Official abstract published by the Wyoming legislature· summary
Current law provides requirements for the restoration of rights, including firearm rights, for persons who have been convicted of felony offenses, including felony offenses committed outside the state of Wyoming. This act clarifies the effect of an out-of-state restoration of rights for purposes of firearm rights in Wyoming to specify that a person's right to possess firearms is subject to restoration under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the conviction was entered. A person convicted of a felony outside of Wyoming whose rights to use and possess firearms are restored pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the conviction was entered does not restore rights to be an elector or juror or to hold any office, unless the laws of that jurisdiction in which the conviction was entered restore those rights.
