SF 2 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Legislative budget.

This bill appropriates $26.1 million from Wyoming's general fund to cover the operational costs of the state legislature through June 2028. It directly funds salaries for legislative staff and lawmakers, travel expenses (including per diem for in-state and out-of-state meetings), office supplies, technology, and other administrative needs. Key provisions include allowing the Management Council to shift funds between categories as needed, permitting unspent funds from prior budgets to carry forward for K-12 education support and equipment replacement, and creating a new $34,000 line item to cover mileage, per diem, and daily salary compensation for legislators attending training or interim committee meetings after the 2026 election. The bill ensures ongoing funding for legislative operations while adding specific flexibility for budget management and new legislator support.

The bill was finalized and enrolled for signature, changing the header to reflect its official status as Enrolled Act No. 1. Substantively, the bill appropriates $26.1 million for the legislative branch through June 30, 2028, and reappropriates unspent funds from previous years for specific purposes like K-12 education studies and laptop replacements. A new section was added to provide additional compensation for legislators-elect and newly appointed members attending training sessions.
