Poverty level specificity in Wyoming law.
HB 212 requires all Wyoming state entities (including agencies, schools, counties, and cities) to include the current federal poverty level's exact dollar amount in any public or legislative report that references it. Instead of using vague terms like "below 100% of poverty level," reports must state the actual numeric value (e.g., "$14,570 for a single adult in 2024"). This applies to all reports published on or after July 1, 2024, ensuring transparency about the specific income threshold being discussed. The bill focuses solely on clarifying reporting standards, not altering poverty definitions or benefits.
