The bill establishes the Wyoming National Guard Member Reenlistment Program, which aims to provide financial incentives for members of the Wyoming National Guard to reenlist. Specifically, it allows the military department to offer a reenlistment bonus of up to $5,000 to eligible members who commit to a minimum of three years of service. The program will be administered by the military department, which is also required to report annually to the joint transportation, highways, and military affairs interim committee on various metrics related to the program, including the number of reenlistments and the total membership of the National Guard.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $1,000,000 from the general fund to support the program, with the funding available until June 30, 2028. The military department is tasked with creating necessary rules for the program's administration. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the bill's passage.
