HB 131 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Government membership and cooperation with associations.

HB 131 prohibits Wyoming government entities (including state agencies, counties, cities, and school districts) from using public funds to pay for membership fees, travel, or lobbying activities with "government member associations" (groups composed primarily of government entities or employees that seek to influence government decisions). It requires these entities to document and publish online details of employee participation in such associations, including time spent and work performed, and designates all related documents as public records. The bill also repeals an existing exception that allowed the Wyoming Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors to pay for membership fees using public funds.
