Public defender funding amendments.

HB 231 modifies Wyoming's public defender funding formula by removing federal funds from the calculation of the state public defender budget. This means the 85% state share (determined by the total budget) will no longer include federal funds that the state receives. As a result, counties will pay a larger portion of the state's required contribution toward public defender services. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, altering how state and county funding responsibilities are determined.
