The bill amends W.S. 9-2-1005(c) to prohibit the governor from authorizing 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 states that the governor may authorize an increase 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 provide clarity and restrictions on the governor's budgetary powers concerning public school funding, ensuring that any increases are strictly for the purpose of maintaining adequate funding for the foundation program. The act is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all necessary legislative processes as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution.
