The proposed bill establishes limitations on the use of tax revenues in Wyoming, specifically prohibiting the expenditure of such funds for lobbying activities. It creates a new section, W.S. 39-11-112, which mandates that any revenue collected from taxes cannot be used to lobby or finance lobbying efforts. Instead, any lobbying must be conducted using separate accounts that do not receive tax revenue. The bill defines "lobbying" and outlines exceptions for activities such as testifying before governmental committees and providing information related to proposed legislation.

Additionally, the bill amends W.S. 9-13-105 to include individuals who receive tax revenue in the restrictions on the misuse of public office. It clarifies that public officials, employees, and those receiving tax revenue cannot use public resources for political activities unless certain conditions are met. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and applies to revenues collected from that date forward.
