This bill mandates that municipalities, counties, school districts, and special districts in Wyoming post their proposed and adopted budgets on their websites, if they have one, and file these budgets with the county clerk. The adopted budgets must include a report detailing revenues and expenditures from the previous fiscal year. The bill specifies that the proposed budgets should be posted by June 1 each year, while adopted budgets must be posted within 30 days of adoption. Additionally, it establishes that if a special district operates in multiple counties, it is required to post the proposed budget on its website and file it with each county clerk.

The bill also introduces stricter compliance measures for reporting requirements. If a special district or entity fails to comply, the director of the department of audit must notify the county commissioners, who will then publish a public notice indicating the potential dissolution of the noncompliant entity. The county treasurer is instructed to withhold further disbursements until compliance is achieved. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
