Vaccine incentives-state employees.

Wyoming's HB 1015 would provide a $1,000 incentive payment to eligible state employees who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by December 31, 2021. It defines "state employee" broadly to include full-time staff across all government branches (executive, legislative, judicial), universities, and public institutions, but excludes elected officials. The bill appropriates $14.72 million from unused federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to cover these payments, distributing amounts to specific state entities like executive agencies, the University of Wyoming, community colleges, and courts. The incentive is explicitly tied to voluntary vaccination efforts during the pandemic, with payments only available to employees continuously employed through the deadline.
