Industry representatives and licensees may donate alcoholic beverages to support annual community or charitable events with prior approval from the applicable licensing authority.

Recipient organizations must be Wyoming nonprofit corporations, qualified as tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code, and must use all proceeds from donated alcohol only for charitable purposes.

Donations made under these provisions do not constitute a sale under Wyoming law.

Amends W.S. 12-5-402 to add the new charitable donation provision (W.S. 12-5-406) as an exception to existing prohibitions on industry representatives furnishing money or things of value to retail licensees.

Effective date: July 1, 2026.
