This bill pertains to school building and facility projects in Wyoming, providing supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. It amends previous legislation to increase the appropriated funds for the School Facilities Division from $180,337,954 to $183,225,575 and introduces a new allocation of $1,610,806 for Construction Management. 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, increasing funding from $27,294,684 to $40,826,188, and raises the budget for unanticipated costs from $10,436,886 to $23,114,442.
Furthermore, the bill allows for the reappropriation of up to $13,400,000 of unexpended, obligated funds from previous appropriations to address inflationary costs associated with approved projects, ensuring that the original scope and design of these projects remain unchanged. The bill mandates that any demolition or disposition of school facilities must be approved by the commission and included in the district's facility plan. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of all necessary legislative processes.
