Every Wyoming kid deserves to get home safe.

We're taking this one law at a time.

Our goal is simple. Protect every child in Wyoming. We're doing it by picking one clear fix, getting it passed, and moving on to the next.

The DUI Child Endangerment Law

Wyoming already sets a jail minimum for a second DUI. A first DUI with a child in the car has none, and kids are the ones riding along.

Our amendment to W.S. 31-5-233(m) sets a mandatory seven day jail sentence and a $500 to $750 fine for a first DUI with a child passenger, and thirty days with a $2,000 to $5,000 fine for a repeat offense. The jail time has to be served before probation can start. It also requires an ignition interlock after every conviction and protects every passenger under 18, not just under 16.

We built it with prosecutors in Sublette and Lincoln Counties and walked it through with defense counsel. It uses language that's already in Wyoming law today.

Seat belt safety

Kids under nine in Wyoming have to ride in a car seat or booster. For everyone else, the seat belt law is secondary, which means an officer can't pull a car over just because someone isn't buckled.

Out here, kids ride long miles on two lane highways and gravel roads. We're looking closely at where they're falling through the gaps and what would actually keep more of them buckled in. Once the DUI law is moving, this is where we're headed.

From our founder

Our kids can't speak up for themselves in a courtroom or at the capitol. So we do it for them.

We're a small, all volunteer team in Pinedale with one job: make Wyoming a safer place to be a kid. If that matters to you, there's a place for you here.
