Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Suspended drivers keep their physical licenses
Beginning July 1, 2025, suspended drivers no longer have to surrender their physical driver's licenses. The law removes the related power to order license confiscation and the fine of up to $750 for willful nonreturn. Keeping the license does not restore driving privileges. Vehicle-registration return requirements remain, including confiscation and a civil penalty up to $750 for willful nonreturn.
Drivers lose temporary licenses, gain hearing protections
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming ends temporary licenses after covered alcohol or controlled-substance testing; officers must give notice of the 20-calendar-day hearing request window. Without a timely request, suspension or denial starts 30 days after notice, or after an existing suspension or revocation ends. Suspensions under this process apply to all driver's licenses the person holds. For timely requests, an independent examiner must schedule a hearing within 45 days after the department forwards the request, with at least 10 days' notice. If that deadline is missed for reasons other than the person's request, the upheld suspension or other action is reduced by the time from the deadline until the hearing is first scheduled.
Digital licenses protect drivers' device privacy
Beginning July 1, 2025, drivers may show a digital license on a portable device if Wyoming's transportation department issues them. Officers and judicial officers cannot take custody of the device to check the license or identity. Showing a digital license does not give consent to search the device. No one must accept a digital license except the department if it chooses to issue them.
Officers must report underage alcohol tests
Beginning July 1, 2025, officers must send Wyoming's transportation department a signed statement after qualifying alcohol tests. This applies when someone under 21 tests at an alcohol concentration of at least 0.02%. The statement must explain probable cause that the person drove or controlled a vehicle on a Wyoming public road in violation of an impaired-driving law. It must confirm that a test was taken and that the result was at least 0.02%. The reporting duty falls on the officer, not the tested person.
