The bill amends W.S. 9-2-1005(c) to prohibit the governor from authorizing any increases to legislative appropriation acts from the public school foundation program account, with a specific exception. The new legal language inserted into the current law clarifies that the governor may authorize increases only to ensure that sufficient funds are available to fund the foundation program as defined by W.S. 21-13-101(a)(v) for each school district.

This legislation aims to maintain fiscal responsibility regarding the public school foundation program while allowing for necessary adjustments to ensure adequate funding for schools. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all necessary legislative processes as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution.
