What it requires

Expect the Wyoming Attorney General, not a private plaintiff, to be the one who may bring an action over a breach-notification violation under this statute.
Do not treat this as an explicit foreclosure. Wyoming's breach statute simply never characterizes a notice violation as a Consumer Protection Act violation, so that Act's own private right of action, Wyo. Stat. Ann. sec. 40-12-108, is never incorporated here, a different finding from an express bar.

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

The Attorney General may bring an action in law or equity to address a violation of Wyoming's breach-notification statute and to recover damages; the provision is not exclusive and does not relieve a covered person from any other applicable law.

Unlike Pennsylvania's, South Dakota's, or West Virginia's equivalents, this statute contains no deeming clause characterizing a notice violation as a violation of Wyoming's general Consumer Protection Act, Wyo. Stat. Ann. secs. 40-12-101 to 40-12-116, so the indirect private-action route those states open is not opened at all here, rather than opened and then foreclosed.

The Consumer Protection Act does carry its own real private right of action, Wyo. Stat. Ann. sec. 40-12-108, arming a person relying on an uncured unlawful deceptive trade practice with an action for actual damages, but that right runs only to a violation under the Consumer Protection Act itself, and nothing in the breach statute invokes it.

No private right of action attaches to this instrument on that basis: an incorporating clause is absent, rather than an explicit foreclosure clause being present.
