Bill Overview

Deadline credits for drivers contesting license actions
Wyoming drivers can request a hearing within 20 days after license denial or notice of suspension or cancellation. For contested cases, the department sends the request and certified record to a hearing examiner. The examiner must schedule a hearing within 45 days after receiving that record, rather than after the hearing request. Drivers must receive at least 10 days' notice. If the examiner misses the deadline without the driver requesting the delay, the driver's only remedy is a time credit. That credit runs from the missed deadline to the date the hearing was first scheduled and reduces any action upheld. The examiner can require witnesses and records, administer oaths, and conduct reexaminations. After the hearing, the examiner must overturn or uphold the action, or continue or change a suspension for good cause.
Replacement licenses offer test relief, cost $20
Wyoming sets a $20 fee for each replacement driver license. The transportation department can issue a replacement without the usual tests when you apply by mail or in person. Your original license must have more than one year left, and your legal name must be unchanged since issuance. The department must have your digital photo and signature; commercial licenses with hazardous materials endorsements do not qualify for test relief. The replacement keeps your original expiration date.
Under-21 license deadline and notice rules removed
Wyoming licenses issued to people under 21 no longer have to expire by their 21st birthday. They follow the general license expiration rules in W.S. 31-7-119(a). The law also removes the related advance expiration notice requirement. These licenses still carry markings showing that the driver is under 21.
