Bond election language process.
HB 190 requires local governments (like cities or counties) to submit proposed bond election questions to Wyoming's Secretary of State for review and approval at least 130 days before a vote. The Secretary must approve or modify the wording to ensure it clearly states the bond's purpose, maximum amount, repayment term, and interest rate at least 120 days before the election. This change aims to standardize how bond questions are worded for voters, ensuring transparency about what projects or funding are being voted on. The bill does not change funding levels or create new bonds, only the process for how election questions are written and approved.
