Legislative budget.
This bill appropriates $26.1 million from Wyoming's general fund to cover the operational costs of the state legislature through June 2028. It directly funds salaries for legislative staff and lawmakers, travel expenses (including per diem for in-state and out-of-state meetings), office supplies, technology, and other administrative needs. Key provisions include allowing the Management Council to shift funds between categories as needed, permitting unspent funds from prior budgets to carry forward for K-12 education support and equipment replacement, and creating a new $34,000 line item to cover mileage, per diem, and daily salary compensation for legislators attending training or interim committee meetings after the 2026 election. The bill ensures ongoing funding for legislative operations while adding specific flexibility for budget management and new legislator support.

MODERATE
The bill was finalized and enrolled for signature, changing the header to reflect its official status as Enrolled Act No. 1. Substantively, the bill appropriates $26.1 million for the legislative branch through June 30, 2028, and reappropriates unspent funds from previous years for specific purposes like K-12 education studies and laptop replacements. A new section was added to provide additional compensation for legislators-elect and newly appointed members attending training sessions.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on legislative appropriations and travel, but it now includes a new provision specifically for compensating new legislators during their training period.
FISCAL
Added a new section providing $34,000 in additional funds to pay mileage and per diem for legislators-elect and newly appointed members attending legislative training or interim committee meetings.
Added a new section authorizing reimbursement for legislators traveling out-of-state to support economic development efforts, subject to Management Council approval.
TECHNICAL
Updated document headers and footers to reflect the bill's transition from a draft Senate file to an officially enrolled act ready for the Governor's signature.
Reformatted the text layout from a draft style with line numbers to the standard format used for enrolled legislation.
