Bill > HB0175

This bill authorizes the renovation of the Wyoming Veterans' Memorial Museum by establishing a dedicated task force and providing funding for the project. The task force will consist of legislative members from the House and Senate, state government representatives including the state construction department and military department, and a veterans' representative appointed by the governor. The task force will serve in an advisory role, monitoring the renovation project, requesting and receiving information, and providing recommendations to the executive branch. The bill appropriates $5 million from the Wyoming tourism account for the museum renovation and an additional $50,000 from the general fund to cover task force expenses and member compensation. The governor and Wyoming military department are authorized to enter into contracts and retain experts to complete the renovation, with no contract to be executed without the governor's approval. The task force will provide interim reports to the legislature and will terminate after the project's completion and facility occupation. The bill becomes effective immediately upon meeting the legal requirements for enactment under the Wyoming Constitution.
