The bill modifies the definition of "average daily membership" (ADM) in Wyoming's school finance law. Specifically, it changes the threshold for pupils to be considered full-time from attending at least eighty percent (80%) of a full-time equivalency basis to seventy-five percent (75%). Additionally, for pupils enrolled on a less than full-time basis, the bill requires that their contribution to the ADM be calculated on a prorated basis, using the hours or class periods of enrollment as the numerator and the hours or class periods of full-time equivalency as the denominator. Pupils who have withdrawn from school or have been absent for more than ten consecutive calendar days will not be counted as members.

The act will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply starting with the school year 2025-2026.
