Wyoming lawmakers have passed legislation that, with one minor exception, prohibits state courts from ordering people to reveal their digital asset private keys.

On 15 February, the Wyoming House of Representatives passed the bill by a vote of 41-13, a day after the Wyoming Senate passed it by a vote of 31-0. If Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon signs the bill, it will go into effect on 1 July.

The new law states that no one in Wyoming may be compelled to produce a private key or make a private key known to another person in any civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, or other proceedings.
