Constituent service allowance.
HB 59 modifies Wyoming's legislative constituent service allowance by creating a new reimbursement option for lawmakers. Instead of the standard $750 quarterly allowance, legislators can choose to receive up to $1,500 per quarter for actual mileage and lodging expenses incurred while serving constituents. Reimbursement requires submitting verified claims 14 days before quarter-end (or within 7 days after) with itemized details. This change affects all Wyoming state legislators and takes effect July 1, 2019.
