Gov. Mark Gordon signed 14 bills into law on Thursday.
The state will now have two full-time smokebuster module leaders. Smokebusters are wildland firefighters who are currently incarcerated by the state of Wyoming. One of the new positions will enter service this year, and one will start the following year.
This is one of several bills that advocates were pushing for, saying it will help with the state’s wildland fire fighting capabilities. Two others have been signed by the governor already offering boosted benefits for firefighters.
Another new law creates a felony penalty for stalking minors, with a maximum of 10 years of imprisonment for offenders over 18.
A third amends the timeline for when an applicant for a charter school needs to be notified if it has been approved or denied. It changes it from 60 to 120 days.
The full list of bills the governor has signed can be found on the governor’s website.
The full text of all bills from the 2026 session may be found on the Wyoming Legislature's website.
