American rescue plan act appropriations-amendments.

HB 195 is a Wyoming state budget bill that allocates $431 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to specific state programs. It directs funding for healthcare response ($50 million), workforce development ($10 million), public safety communications ($35 million), and other eligible COVID-19 relief initiatives like mental health services and rural broadband. The bill specifies strict conditions on spending, requiring that funds be used only for qualifying ARPA purposes (e.g., workforce training, healthcare infrastructure) and mandating reporting on expenditures. It affects Wyoming state agencies including the Department of Health, Workforce Services, and Transportation, ensuring federal relief dollars are spent as federally required. The bill does not create new programs but reorganizes and clarifies existing ARPA fund allocations.
