State trust lands-studies.

Maddy summaryHB 294 requires Wyoming's Office of State Lands to study specific school trust land parcels near major highways (I-25, I-80, I-90) and the Grand Teton National Park Kelly parcel. The study must evaluate development options - including commercial, residential (including affordable housing), sustainable resource use, and limited gaming - to maximize land value, while preserving the state's royalty interests. The office must solicit proposals from development firms, estimate costs/revenue, and submit a final plan to state committees by November 2019. This is a preparatory study; it does not authorize development but sets the framework for future decisions.

General government appropriations-3.

Maddy summaryThis bill (SF 166) adjusts Wyoming's school funding formula for the 2019-2020 school year by applying specific inflation-based increases to four categories: professional labor, non-professional labor, educational materials, and energy costs. These adjustments - calculated using Bureau of Labor Statistics indexes - would affect public schools receiving funds through the School Foundation Program (S5 account). It also allocates $15 million from the air service improvement account for commercial air service contracts, pending governor approval. The bill was referred to the Appropriations Committee but died in committee in 2019 without becoming law.

Sexual assault biological evidence reporting.

Maddy summarySF 72 requires Wyoming criminal justice agencies to report on sexual assault biological evidence (like DNA samples) collected during investigations, starting January 1, 2020. Agencies must report evidence submission status, lab details, and reasons for non-submission, while protecting victim identities. The bill also changes who pays for medical examinations related to sexual assaults (first victim services, then law enforcement if funds run out) and prohibits destroying evidence until all legal time limits expire. These provisions affect law enforcement, crime labs, and victim services, aiming to improve evidence tracking and transparency.

Department of health facilities-contract employees.

Maddy summaryThis bill (SF 147) requires Wyoming's Department of Health to propose budget changes that reduce full-time and part-time staff at five specific state facilities - Wyoming Life Resource Center, Wyoming State Hospital, Wyoming Pioneer Home, Veterans' Home of Wyoming, and Wyoming Retirement Center - and increase the use of temporary contract employees instead. It mandates that the Department of Administration's budget division must base the health department's 2021-2022 budget on these recommendations. The policy directly affects staffing models at these facilities, shifting toward more flexible, short-term contracts for operational roles.
