SF 169 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Strategic investments and projects account-repeal.

This bill repeals Wyoming's "strategic investments and projects account" and requires all remaining funds in that account to be transferred to the state general fund by July 1, 2026. It eliminates a dedicated state fund that previously held money for capital projects, redirecting those resources to the general budget. The bill also includes reporting requirements for the state auditor on the transfer process. This is a procedural budget adjustment affecting state fund management, not a policy change impacting specific programs or constituents.

MODERATE

The Governor vetoed several sections of this bill, primarily striking language that would have repealed the Strategic Investments and Projects account and required specific fund transfers. The vetoed sections would have eliminated the account entirely and mandated moving money to the general fund for various purposes, including a shooting complex and corrections security system. The remaining text preserves the account structure with minor adjustments to investment rules and effective dates.

Scope change

The bill's scope was significantly reduced by the veto. Sections that would have repealed the Strategic Investments and Projects account and mandated fund transfers were removed. The account now remains active with modified transfer requirements.

FISCAL

Struck language repealing the Strategic Investments and Projects account entirely, which would have eliminated this funding mechanism.

Modified the Strategic Investments and Projects account section to clarify that funds should be transferred and reverted, though the account itself was not repealed by the veto.

REQUIREMENT

Removed requirements to transfer $10 million to the Department of State Parks for a shooting complex and $9 million to the Department of Corrections for security system integration.

Deleted provisions requiring the state auditor to report on fund transfers and repeal sections related to account termination and fund reversion.

TIMELINE

Adjusted effective date language from 'effective dates' to singular 'effective date' in the act title.
