The Wyoming Senate voted Monday to pass a bill that would make it illegal to share explicit images or videos without the subject’s consent.
House Bill 85 addresses what’s commonly known as revenge porn. As of 2019, Wyoming was just one of four states in the U.S. without any laws concerning the practice.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Clark Stith, R-Rock Springs, passed unanimously out of the Senate on its third reading Monday, save for one excused senator. Now, amendments made in the chamber will go back to the House of Representatives — where it also passed with a consensus — for approval before being sent to Gov. Mark Gordon’s desk.
