School facilities-appropriations.
HB 26 modifies Wyoming's school facilities funding process by allowing the legislature to appropriate a single sum for both design and construction phases of school projects, rather than separate appropriations. It clarifies that the state construction department must report budget modifications (like transfers between design/construction phases or contingency costs) to the select committee on school facilities, with changes requiring commission approval. The bill also permits up to 15% of total funds to be transferred between project phases with governor approval, while requiring detailed reporting of all budget adjustments. This affects Wyoming school districts, the state construction department, and the select committee, effective July 1, 2023.
