Bill > SF0012

This bill establishes the Wyoming National Guard Member Reenlistment and Extension Program, which allows the military department to offer bonuses of up to $5,000 to Wyoming National Guard members who reenlist or extend their service for at least three years and meet other specified criteria, with the goal of increasing the Guard's strength. The bill also mandates that the military department report annually to a legislative committee on the program's effectiveness, including data on reenlistments, bonus amounts, and overall Guard membership numbers, and requires the department to create necessary rules for administering the program. Additionally, the bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the general fund to the military department specifically for this program, with the funds to be used by June 30, 2028, and specifies that most of the act will take effect on July 1, 2026, while the rulemaking and final provisions will be effective immediately upon becoming law.
