Wyoming firearms research institute oversight commission.
HB 260 creates the Wyoming Firearms Research Center Oversight Commission to guide the University of Wyoming's planned firearms research center. The commission, with eight members (including a legislative appointee and seven from gun-related groups, industry, law enforcement, and county attorneys), reviews the center's mission and recommends how it should focus on firearms culture and traditions in Wyoming. It also facilitates agreements between the university center and Wyoming stakeholders and advises the legislature on funding. The bill appropriates $2,500 for the legislative member's expenses and $17,500 for other members, with funds expiring June 30, 2024. The commission must meet annually but has no compensation beyond travel reimbursement.
