Bill > SF0180

This bill modifies Wyoming state law regarding supplemental budget requests by establishing specific limitations on what can be included in such requests. The bill restricts supplemental budget recommendations from the governor or state agencies to five specific categories: (1) budget reductions necessitated by recent revenue shortfall estimates, (2) appropriations required due to human or natural disasters, (3) appropriations for public welfare emergencies when existing emergency funds are insufficient, (4) recommendations about increases or decreases to state savings, and (5) necessary personnel adjustments. By narrowing the scope of supplemental budget requests, the bill aims to provide more focused and controlled budgetary amendments. The bill also repeals a previous provision related to budget preparation and will become effective on July 1, 2025. This legislation appears designed to create more stringent guidelines for modifying state budgets outside of the standard budgeting process, ensuring that supplemental requests are limited to critical and specific circumstances.
