Navigating the Wyoming Unified Judicial System (UJS) and local court rules requires a clear understanding of behavioral health mandates. This resource page provides the tools to ensure your program meets all state and local mandates.
Key resources for Wyoming compliance include:
- Court Order Verification: Always confirm whether your order originates from District Court, Circuit Court, or Municipal Court, as the required hours and approved provider lists can vary by jurisdiction.
- WYDOC Coordination: If you are under state supervision, coordinate with the Wyoming Department of Corrections (WYDOC). Your Probation and Parole Agent must often verify that a behavioral health program meets the specific conditions of your sentence.
- Domestic Violence Standards: In Wyoming, domestic-related offenses may require Domestic Violence Perpetrator Treatment (DVPT). These programs must comply with specific state standards and are distinct from general anger management courses. Always verify the specific language in your court order.
- Deferred Prosecution Agreements: If you are participating in a deferred prosecution under Wyoming Statute ยง 7-13-301, ensure your anger management course is completed and documented correctly to ensure your case is eligible for eventual dismissal.
- Verification of Hours: Wyoming mandates vary; ensure you are enrolled in the correct duration, such as an 8-hour, 12-hour, or long-term cognitive program, as specified in your Sentence and Judgment.
- Documentation and Filing: Learn the process for submitting your Proof of Enrollment and final Certificate of Completion to the Clerk of District Court or Circuit Court Clerk to ensure your compliance is officially recorded.
