This bill appropriates $2,176,313 from the general fund to the University of Wyoming to enhance medical education, with a specific allocation of no more than $53,081 for administrative costs. The funding is designated for use until June 30, 2029, and any unspent funds will revert by June 30, 2028. The legislature intends for this appropriation to be doubled in the university's standard budget for the next fiscal biennium.
Additionally, the bill authorizes the University of Wyoming's board of trustees to expand its medical training program through a contract with the University of Utah School of Medicine. This program will allow for up to five Wyoming resident students to receive medical education over four years, starting in the 2025-2026 academic year. The board must secure agreements from each student as mandated by existing law, ensuring compliance with all relevant educational requirements. The act will take effect immediately upon its passage.
