*A “Priority Bill” designation is assigned to legislation that Wyoming Family Alliance has chosen to concentrate its time, resources, and advocacy efforts on. While many pro-family bills align with our mission, only a limited number can be designated as priorities each session to ensure effective and focused engagement.
SUMMARY:
This bill provides appropriations for the operation of the legislative branch of the state government of Wyoming for the remainder of the current biennium ending June 30, 2026, and extends through June 30, 2028. It allocates a total of $26,118,778 from the general fund to cover various expenses, including salaries for legislative staff and legislators, travel expenses, dues for national organizations, telecommunications, and general administrative support. The bill also includes provisions for the transfer of funds between expense categories as needed and outlines the reimbursement policies for out-of-state travel for legislators.
Additionally, the bill allows for the carryover of unobligated funds beyond the biennium, specifically for professional consulting services related to K-12 education responsibilities, the purchase of replacement laptop computers, and extraordinary expenses of the legislature. It introduces new compensation for newly elected or appointed legislators attending training functions, authorizes travel reimbursements for economic development efforts, and appropriates funds for specific conferences and projects. The effective dates for the appropriations and provisions are specified, with some taking effect immediately and others on July 1, 2026.
