Military assistance trust fund-authorized uses.

HB 16 expands Wyoming's Military Assistance Trust Fund to cover dependent care costs for Wyoming National Guard members. The bill specifically adds eligible members who need assistance meeting dependent care responsibilities directly tied to their National Guard service, preventing financial hardship that might limit their participation. This new provision (added as subsection (v)) applies to members and their immediate families, as defined in the law. The fund remains a last-resort resource, only to be used when other private or public funds aren't available to address hardship from military duty. The change took effect July 1, 2022.
