HB 266 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Refugee resettlement plan accountability.

HB 266 requires Wyoming's legislature to approve any refugee resettlement plan before it takes effect, replacing the previous process of submitting plans directly to federal authorities. The governor must submit detailed plans by April 1, 2023, outlining how the state will support refugees' self-sufficiency, provide language/employment services, handle unaccompanied minors, address medical needs, and detail funding sources. A legislative committee will review the plans, hold public hearings, and recommend actions to the full legislature. This bill directly affects state agencies and the governor's office by adding legislative oversight to federal refugee resettlement programs.
