The bill amends W.S. 11-37-107 by adding a new subsection (d) that establishes a cap on the total costs that the state can assess against the beef council on an annual basis. Specifically, it stipulates that the total costs assessed by the department of administration and information, or any other state entity, cannot exceed three percent (3%) of the annual portion of the fees collected by the council that are not obligated under state or federal law. This provision excludes costs referenced in subsection (c) of the same section.

Additionally, the bill sets an effective date for the new provisions, which will take effect on July 1, 2026. This legislative change aims to provide financial predictability for the beef council by limiting the costs that can be imposed by the state.
