Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the administration of the government; requiring that the state auditor provide the public with information on payments made to vendors as specified; specifying applicability; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Wyoming State Auditor to enhance financial transparency by publicly posting detailed information about vendor payments on their official website. Specifically, the bill mandates that within 30 days of making a payment, the State Auditor must make available for public inspection and download a comprehensive record of each payment, including the date of payment, vendor's name, the state agency involved, total payment amount, and a description of the payment. The published information must be maintained on the website for at least five years, subject to state and federal law restrictions. The new transparency requirements will apply to all payments made by the State Auditor on or after July 1, 2025, providing citizens with greater insight into how state funds are being spent and allowing for increased government accountability and public oversight of state expenditures.
