Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Decentralized nonprofits can use nonmember administrators
Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming decentralized nonprofit associations can authorize members or nonmembers to serve as administrators. Administrators handle administrative or operational work under the membership’s direction.
Smaller decentralized nonprofits automatically change legal form
Beginning July 1, 2026, a Wyoming decentralized nonprofit association automatically changes legal form when membership falls below 100. It becomes a Wyoming unincorporated nonprofit association only if it qualifies under that state law, W.S. 17-22-101 through 17-22-115. This default does not apply if the association’s governing principles say otherwise.
Narrower membership routes for decentralized nonprofits
Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming decentralized nonprofits have narrower default rules for joining and transferring membership rights. Without governing principles addressing membership, a person joins by buying or taking ownership of a membership interest. Membership continues until suspension, dismissal, expulsion, resignation, or the association’s dissolution and wind-up. Unless governing principles say otherwise, membership interests and their rights remain freely transferable by transferring the interest. The defaults no longer list other voting-rights property or instruments as a route to membership, or other voting-rights property as a transfer route.
Closing decentralized nonprofits must follow asset rules
Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming decentralized nonprofits winding up must distribute remaining assets as applicable state or federal law requires. If that law requires a recipient with similar nonprofit purposes, the assets must go to such a person or group. Other statutory distribution rules still apply.
