Wyo. Stat. § 35-20-116 (2026)

to adult protection cases; child and vulnerable adult abuse and
registry account.

     (a) Upon appropriate application and for employee or
volunteer screening purposes, the department shall provide to
any employer or entity whose employees or volunteers may have
unsupervised access to vulnerable adults in the course of their
employment or volunteer service a record summary concerning
abuse, neglect, exploitation or abandonment of a vulnerable
adult involving a named individual or shall confirm that no
record exists. The state agency shall provide the results of
the records check to the applicant by certified mail if the
records check confirms the existence of a report "under
investigation" or a "substantiated" finding of abuse or neglect.
Otherwise, the state agency shall provide the results of the
records check to the applicant in accordance with agency rules
and by United States mail. The written results shall confirm
that there is a report "under investigation", a "substantiated"
finding of abuse or neglect on the central registry naming the
individual or confirm that no record exists. When the
individual is identified on the registry as a "substantiated"
perpetrator of abuse or neglect, the report to the applicant
shall contain information with respect to the date of the
finding, specific type of abuse or neglect, a copy of the
perpetrator's voluntary statement and whether an appeal is
pending. Any applicant receiving a report under this section
identifying an individual as "under investigation" shall be
notified by the department as to the final disposition of that
investigation and whether an appeal is pending. The applicant,
or an agent on behalf of the applicant, shall submit a fee in an
amount determined by rule of the department and proof
satisfactory to the department that the prospective or current
employee or volunteer whose records are being checked consents
to the release of the information to the applicant. The
applicant shall use the information received only for purposes
of screening prospective or current employees and volunteers who
may, through their employment or volunteer services, have
unsupervised access to vulnerable adults. Applicants, their
employees or other agents shall not otherwise divulge or make
public any information received under this section. The
department shall notify any applicant receiving information
under this subsection of any subsequent reclassification of the
information pursuant to W.S. 35-20-115(c). The department shall
screen all prospective employees in conformity with the
procedure provided under this subsection.

     (b) There is created a program administration account to
be known as the child and vulnerable adult abuse registry
account. All fees collected under subsection (a) of this section
shall be credited to this account.

     (c) Any person may request a central registry screen and
summary report on themselves as provided by subsection (a) of
this section upon payment of the fee required by subsection (a)
of this section.
