Emergency appropriation-COVID-19 funds.

HB 1001 authorizes Wyoming to spend $1.25 billion in federal CARES Act funds to address the economic and public health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. It directs funding toward four priority areas: immediate emergency response (like hospital support), direct aid to affected businesses and residents, economic development projects (such as infrastructure), and replacing lost state/local government revenue. The bill requires state agencies to report on how funds are spent and ensures they align with federal guidelines. This funding directly supports Wyoming residents, local governments, and essential services during the crisis.
