Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to administration of the government; prohibiting the governor from authorizing increases to legislative appropriation acts from the public school foundation program account; providing an exception; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Wyoming state law regarding the governor's budgetary authority for the public school foundation program. Specifically, the bill prohibits the governor from increasing legislative appropriations from the public school foundation program account, with one key exception: the governor may authorize increases only to ensure sufficient funds are available to fully fund the foundation program for each school district as defined in state law. The "public school foundation program" is a state mechanism for allocating educational funding to local school districts, and this bill aims to limit the governor's discretionary power to adjust these appropriations after they have been initially set by the legislature. The legislation will become effective immediately upon completing the standard legal process for enacting a bill in Wyoming, as specified by the state constitution.
