The bill amends W.S. 9-1-403(a) by adding a new requirement for the state auditor to provide public access to information regarding payments made to vendors. Specifically, the state auditor is mandated to make available for public inspection and download on their official website details about all payments made to vendors. This information must include the payment date, vendor name, the state agency involved, the total amount paid, and a description of the payment. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that this information must be posted within thirty days of the payment and maintained on the website for a minimum of five years.

The provisions of this act will apply to all payments made by the state auditor starting July 1, 2025, and the act itself will take effect on the same date. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and accountability in government spending by ensuring that the public has access to detailed financial information regarding vendor payments.
