This bill addresses school building and facility projects in Wyoming by providing supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. It amends existing budget allocations, increasing the appropriations for the School Facilities Division from $180,337,954 to $183,225,575, and introduces new funding for construction management at $1,610,806. The total appropriations for school capital construction projects are significantly increased from $241,374,013 to $402,045,841, with additional funding for major maintenance projects raised from $25,156,501 to $54,989,217. The bill also includes provisions for ancillary building projects and demolition costs, with the latter increasing from $2,634,698 to $9,891,246.
Furthermore, the bill allows for the reappropriation of unexpended funds from previous appropriations, specifically up to $13,400,000, to cover inflationary costs associated with approved projects. This reappropriation is restricted to the original scope and design of the projects and cannot be used for any other purpose. The bill emphasizes the importance of adhering to the financial interests of the state and ensuring that all expenditures are reported as required. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
