The bill aims to enhance the governance, planning, and record-keeping related to the maintenance of public buildings and facilities in Wyoming. It outlines specific responsibilities for various state entities, including the state construction department, state building commission, community college commission, school facilities commission, and the University of Wyoming's board of trustees. Key provisions include the establishment of routine maintenance schedules to prevent backlogs, a plan for addressing maintenance needs, and the allocation of costs for major repairs resulting from neglected maintenance. The bill also allows for supplemental funding requests for major maintenance and mandates annual reporting on neglected properties and their associated costs.

Significant new legal language is introduced, requiring the state construction department to review major maintenance expenditure requests and identify components or systems that fail to meet their life expectancy due to neglected maintenance. The bill specifies that costs for repairs due to neglected maintenance will be the responsibility of the relevant state agency or the University of Wyoming. Additionally, it mandates the maintenance of routine maintenance records and planning for funding components with shorter life expectancies than the buildings themselves. The University of Wyoming and community colleges are tasked with developing and implementing maintenance schedules, with community colleges bearing the full costs of major repairs due to neglected maintenance. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon passage.
