Developmental preschool funding.

Wyoming's SF 19 adjusts funding for developmental preschool services by increasing the per-child payment rate from $8,503 to $8,866 annually for children aged birth through five with developmental disabilities who qualify for an individualized education program or family service plan. The bill modifies how the state counts participating children (using May 1 of the prior school year) and appropriates $26.156 million from the general fund for fiscal years 2024-2026 to cover these services. This funding directly supports service providers working with eligible children and families in the state's developmental preschool program. The changes ensure payments reflect updated cost adjustments and require the Department of Health to budget accordingly for future years.
