More legal protection for mental health responders
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming extends protection from civil damages to unpaid, good-faith help at a mental health crisis scene. This covers physicians and other people giving emergency care or assistance. It also covers good-faith actions by volunteers staffing publicly or privately funded ambulances or rescue vehicles during medical or mental health crises. Those services must charge nothing or only an incidental service or user fee. Volunteers qualify with incidental per-call pay or no more than $1,000 annually for volunteer ambulance and rescue work, including mental health help or suicide intervention. Protection also extends to ambulance medical directors and hospitals and employees providing clinical training in state-approved emergency medical service classes. Students are covered during emergency medical or mental health services training approved by the Wyoming Department of Health. Protection excludes gross negligence and willful or wanton misconduct. For claims covered by the Wyoming Governmental Claims Act, immunity is waived up to the maximum liability under W.S. 1-39-118.
