The bill establishes a framework for the administration of refugee resettlement in Wyoming, requiring legislative approval for any refugee resettlement plan. It designates the Wyoming legislature as the exclusive authority to oversee the development and administration of such plans, which must be submitted by the governor or their designee. The bill mandates that all existing refugee resettlement plans submitted to the federal office of refugee resettlement before April 1, 2024, be rescinded by July 1, 2024. Furthermore, no new plans will take effect without legislative approval, ensuring that the legislature has a significant role in the oversight of refugee resettlement efforts.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific requirements for the content of the refugee resettlement plans, including strategies for promoting economic self-sufficiency among refugees, ensuring access to language training and employment services, and addressing the needs of unaccompanied refugee children. It also requires a detailed financial plan that outlines necessary funds and projected federal or private funding sources. The management council of the legislature is tasked with assigning the proposed plans to a joint interim committee, which will conduct public hearings and report recommendations for legislative consideration. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
