Bill > HB0332

This bill modifies existing Wyoming state law regarding county governments' involvement with professional associations by prohibiting the use of county funds to pay membership fees, reimbursement for travel, room, or board expenses related to association activities. The bill requires that all documents created during association-related work, including agendas, correspondence, financial statements, minutes, reports, presentations, and training materials, be considered public records. Additionally, county commissioners and elected county officials who engage in association business while using their official capacity or county resources must now document and submit a monthly report detailing the time and nature of work performed during association-related activities. The law will take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to increase transparency and limit the use of public funds for professional association expenses. The bill applies to county-level government officials and seeks to ensure that any organizational cooperation is conducted with maximum accountability and minimal financial burden to taxpayers.
