The proposed bill establishes the Wyoming Imagination Library Program, aimed at promoting early childhood literacy by providing free books to children from birth to five years of age. The program will be administered by the Department of Education and will involve collaboration with a qualified nonprofit organization to ensure that each registered eligible child in participating counties receives at least one age-appropriate book monthly at no cost to families. The bill outlines the definitions of key terms, such as "county based affiliate program" and "registered eligible child," and emphasizes the importance of local affiliate programs in each county to facilitate the distribution of books and promote enrollment.

Additionally, the bill creates the Wyoming Imagination Library Program account, which will receive legislative appropriations and other funding sources, such as grants and donations. Each county-based affiliate program is required to contribute 50% of the funds necessary for its operation, with the Department of Education managing these funds and providing matching support from the program account. The bill includes provisions for the continuous appropriation of funds, ensuring that unspent amounts do not lapse, and mandates the Department of Education to develop rules for the program's implementation. An appropriation from the general fund is also included, with the intent that it will be part of the department's standard budget for the following fiscal biennium. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
