There is no way they will be passed. The government has worked very hard to convince the public that without state intervention, private food organizations would immediately start poisoning their customers without a second thought.
Even if a politician knows that's not true, trying to pass your proposed bills would be political suicide. Politicians are supposed to represent the will of the people, not their own beliefs about what's good for them. If I was a Wyoming legislator, I would refuse to vote.
As a libertarian, I have thought quite a lot about food inspections. If state food inspections are abolished, they should be abolished incrementally. The first step should be to still require food inspections, but to allow private inspectors.
Also, you should do a lot of research into existing laws, the effect of those laws on local businesses, talk with your representatives, and maybe even make a petition. I think that is a more reasonable way of going about this, especially if you are passionate about this.
the wyoming food freedom act has been in place for about 8 years now and passed under a much less favorable legislature. it prohibits the state from preventing the production and sell of many uninspected foods.
there is nothing that prohibits private inspection in wyoming, but the sort of businesses that operate under this legislation typically allow customers to inspection or are otherwise transparent in operation. from my understanding current law allows grocery stores to sell uninspected products produced under food freedom bull so long as they are stored and labeled separately from inspected goods
certainly no reason to get hopes high, particularly since i should have began mobilizing for the legislation at least a year and a half ago, but likely to be introduced i think, probably not likely to make it to the floor but should it make it i expect at least 35-45% support as is, Potential for passing IF it makes the floor and there is enough grassroots effort behind it, which a petition, especially in hostile districts could help with.
but again no high hopes, session starts in another week and a half or so
