The proposed bill, designated as HB0088, establishes strict limitations on the use of state funds and resources for lobbying activities by governmental entities in Wyoming. It defines "governmental entity" to include various levels of state and local government, while explicitly excluding for-profit organizations under authorized government contracts. The bill prohibits these entities from using state funds to lobby the legislature, hire lobbyists, or pay dues to organizations that engage in lobbying. Additionally, it mandates that each governmental entity submit an annual certification to the Wyoming attorney general, confirming compliance with these restrictions.

Enforcement mechanisms are included in the bill, allowing the attorney general or relevant district attorney to investigate violations and seek injunctive relief. Furthermore, any taxpayer or resident of Wyoming is granted the right to initiate legal action against governmental entities that violate the provisions of this act, with the possibility of recovering court costs and attorney fees if they prevail. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
