Examination of books of certain districts and entities.
HB 56 requires special districts (like recreation boards) and certain other local entities in Wyoming to submit annual financial reports to the state audit department by September 30 each year. The law establishes different oversight levels based on an entity's annual revenue or spending, and allows the audit department to accept reports from certified public accountants. Entities failing to file reports face consequences including public notices, cost assessments by counties, and potential dissolution by county commissioners. This applies to recreation districts, counties, cities/towns under 4,000 population, and other entities specified in Wyoming law.
