AI Summary
This bill significantly alters the operations of the Wyoming Business Council (WBC) by imposing restrictions on its ability to accept or process new grant, loan, bond, or financial aid applications starting April 15, 2027, and prohibits the approval or disbursement of funds for applications not already finalized before that date, though existing obligations can still be met. Prior to this, by April 30, 2026, the WBC must provide a comprehensive report detailing all outstanding financial obligations, loans, bonds, and property holdings, as well as a list of all its programs and funding sources to various legislative and governmental committees. Furthermore, the bill establishes a legislative task force, composed of legislative members, the governor, and representatives from various industries, to conduct a thorough review of the WBC's operations, programs, and functions, and to make recommendations for its future, with the task force set to conclude its work by December 31, 2026. The bill also includes appropriations for the task force's expenses and specifies that existing contracts and agreements of the WBC will not be affected.
