The bill mandates the installation of microphones at the desks of members in the House of Representatives to enhance the audibility of roll call votes during legislative proceedings. An appropriation of $93,000 from the general fund is allocated to the legislative service office specifically for the planning, design, purchase, and installation of these microphones. The bill stipulates that the funds can only be used for this purpose and any unspent funds will revert back to the general fund by June 30, 2026.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions to ensure that the appropriated funds are not diverted for any other use, reinforcing the commitment to improving the legislative process through better audio capabilities. The act is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all necessary legislative procedures as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution.
