HB 38 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Wyoming national guard member referral.

HB 38 creates the Wyoming National Guard Member Referral Incentive Program, which allows current Wyoming National Guard members to earn a monetary bonus of up to $500 for successfully referring new recruits who complete enlistment. To qualify, a member must submit a referral form with the prospect's contact details, and the referred person must sign an enlistment contract (not already a Guard member). The program requires annual reporting to the legislature, includes funding for a dedicated staff position ($144,000) and referral bonuses ($808,000), and expires on July 1, 2026. This directly affects current Guard members who refer new recruits, with no broader public impact.
