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 preceding 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 after adoption. Additionally, it establishes that if a special district operates in multiple counties, it is required to post and file budgets with each county clerk.

The bill also introduces compliance measures for entities that fail to meet these reporting requirements. The director of the department of audit is tasked with certifying noncompliance to county commissioners, who must then publish a public notice indicating potential dissolution of the noncompliant entity. Furthermore, the county treasurer is instructed to withhold disbursements until compliance is achieved. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
