The bill amends W.S. 18-3-522 to establish new regulations regarding county membership in organizations aimed at promoting good government. It specifies that while county boards of commissioners and elected officials may join such organizations, the costs associated with membership must not be paid with county funds. Additionally, counties are prohibited from reimbursing expenses related to room, board, or travel for activities associated with these organizations.
Furthermore, the bill mandates that all documents and materials created by a county in relation to its activities with these associations, including agendas, correspondence, and financial statements, are to be considered public records. It also requires county commissioners and elected officials to document their work related to these associations and submit monthly reports to their respective boards. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
