This bill amends existing public records and meetings laws in Wyoming to explicitly include local government associations under the requirements for public records and public meetings. It defines "local government association" as any association composed exclusively of political subdivisions, such as boards, commissions, agencies, or authorities. The bill also specifies that records of local government associations that are not directly related to public business may be denied inspection. Additionally, it allows local government associations to assess reasonable fees for public records services.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the term "agency" now includes local government associations, and it defines "meeting" in the context of local government associations as one that is open to the full membership of the association. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2026.
