Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to legislative process; requiring the installation of microphones at the desks of members in the house of representatives; providing an appropriation; and providing for an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill appropriates $93,000 from the general fund to the legislative service office specifically for installing microphones at each legislator's desk in the Wyoming House of Representatives chambers. The microphones are intended to enable clear roll call vote audio both within the chamber and during legislative proceedings broadcasts. The bill strictly limits the funds to be used only for planning, designing, purchasing, and installing these microphones, and any unused funds will revert back to the general fund on June 30, 2026. The legislation becomes effective immediately upon completing the standard legislative process for enacting a bill as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution. By providing dedicated funding for these microphones, the bill aims to improve audio clarity and transparency during legislative sessions by ensuring that each representative's voting actions can be clearly heard and recorded.
