American rescue plan act appropriations-amendments.

HB 118 allocates approximately $440 million in leftover federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to Wyoming state agencies for specific pandemic recovery purposes. It directly affects state agencies like Health (for workforce retention and rural healthcare innovations), Parks (for outdoor recreation grants), Transportation (for emergency communications systems), and others by authorizing targeted spending on qualifying ARPA expenditures. Key provisions include detailed line-item funding for programs like workforce development, mental health services, emergency medical services, and infrastructure projects, while requiring strict reporting and prohibiting use for post-secondary education outside critical career training. The bill also mandates reversion of unspent funds to the federal government and specifies that funds cannot replace state revenue.
