Wyoming ends its unauthorized vehicle use crime

Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming law removes the crime of unauthorized use of a vehicle. People can no longer be prosecuted under that specific offense, formerly in Wyoming Statute 31-11-102. The repeal does not address whether the same conduct violates other laws.
