The bill amends Wyoming law regarding the financial interactions of county commissioners and elected county officials with associations and organizations aimed at promoting good governance. It explicitly prohibits the use of county funds for membership fees and expenses related to association activities, such as room, board, or travel costs. This change ensures that public funds are not used for these purposes unless otherwise specified by law.
Additionally, the bill establishes that all documents and materials related to a county's activities with these associations, including agendas, correspondence, and financial statements, are considered public records. It also mandates that county commissioners and elected officials document their time and activities related to association business and submit a monthly report to their board of county commissioners. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
