8 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.
Starting July 1, 2026, the department runs a Lifesaver Program. Counties can get grants and transmitters to help find people who wander, such as those with autism or dementia. The department sets application rules, keeps a separate account, and awards grants based on county need and available funds.
Effective July 1, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security director, or a designee, serves on the Wyoming Court Security Commission. This formal role improves coordination on court security. It does not change fees or taxes for households.
Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming creates the Department of Homeland Security and replaces the former office. All staff, property, funds, and obligations move to the new department. Existing contracts continue; the department must honor them or the Governor’s Office will if the department cannot by law. The Governor appoints the director, who prepares the agency budget. The department is exempt from the usual transition plan, and it assumes all prior homeland security duties.
Starting July 1, 2026, fees from search and rescue license plates go into a dedicated account at the department. The money is always available and used only for search and rescue. The department reimburses counties for direct search and rescue costs, but not salaries or benefits. The Search and Rescue Council, with the department director as a voting member and secretary, reviews and acts on claims.
Beginning July 1, 2026, anyone who possesses ammonium nitrate or regulated related materials must register with the department. The annual registration fee is up to $50 per registrant. The department may set security steps and review related records. Makers or buyers using ammonium nitrate only for explosives under a federal license are exempt.
Starting July 1, 2026, the department can get state and national criminal history records for homeland security workers. It may require fingerprinting to join regional emergency response teams. This improves vetting but adds time and possible fees for applicants.
Beginning July 1, 2027, the transportation department maintains expanded vehicle registration and title records. It compiles and may publish a list of all registered vehicles. The list must be given free to Wyoming peace officers and the Department of Homeland Security. Records are open to public inspection during office hours.
Starting July 1, 2026, every city and county must name a local emergency response authority and file the signed designation with the department within seven days. Responders can recover reasonable costs from hazardous incidents, including equipment-use fees set by department rules. A State Emergency Response Commission advises the department and may pay per diem and mileage to non‑state members. The law also updates definitions so the director is the department head, and the governor must consult that director when naming critical infrastructure zones.
