H Failed Introduction 31-29-2-0-0
Summary
The bill would force all licensed hospitals in Wyoming to publish a complete list of their standard charges for every item and service, both in a machine‑readable file and in a human‑readable list for shoppable services, on their website. It also gives the state health department authority to enforce the rule, impose civil penalties, and stop hospitals from collecting debts when they break the transparency requirements. The aim is to give patients clearer cost information and protect financially vulnerable patients.
