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

Furthermore, the bill introduces compliance measures for entities that fail to meet these reporting requirements. The director of the state 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. The county treasurer is also instructed to withhold disbursements until compliance is achieved. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and requires local governmental entities to maintain and post their adopted budgets for at least the past five fiscal years.
