Foreign-adversary-controlled entities face new Wyoming operating limits

Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming’s Secretary of State can dissolve Wyoming corporations, including nonprofits, for foreign-adversary ownership or control. The state can also revoke out-of-state corporations’ authority to do business, including nonprofits. The rule covers foreign governments or nongovernment persons designated by the U.S. Commerce Secretary under 15 C.F.R. 791.4(a) or its replacement. LLCs can lose their operating authority or formation documents when the company or any member has that ownership or control. Statutory foundations face the same penalties when the foundation, its founder, or an authorized representative has that ownership or control. For foundations, forfeiture must also serve the public interest. These new grounds do not apply when the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States has approved the ownership or control.
