Summary

The bill would bar Wyoming state agencies and licensing boards from taking adverse actions against health‑care providers because of speech or expression made while delivering care, unless the provider’s words directly caused patient harm. It requires agencies to notify providers of any related complaints within 14 days and lets providers sue for damages, injunctive relief, and attorney fees. The measure aims to protect clinicians’ free‑speech rights and create civil liability for agencies that discriminate.
