Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon issued a directive to ban so-called COVID-19 “vaccine passports” that have been flagged by civil liberties groups as a potential invasion of Americans’ privacy.

Gordon’s directive tells state agencies, boards, and commissions to “provide full access to state spaces and state services, regardless of a constituent’s COVID-19 vaccination status,” and “prevents state agencies, boards, and commissions from requiring ‘vaccine passports,’” according to a news release on May 7.
