Wyoming local governments can pay claims electronically
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming cities, towns, and counties can pay approved claims electronically or through fund transfers. Electronic payment is optional; traditional checks, warrants, and orders remain available. Under municipal manager-payment rules, claims over $50 need manager certification and governing-body approval by resolution. Those municipal payments must name the recipient and state their purpose. Paper payments still require the official signatures specified by law. County treasurers must confirm that county commissioners ordered an electronic payment, and the proper fund must have enough money. County payments are payable on demand. County treasurers must keep a bound payment register listing presentation dates, amounts, payees, and payers, with entries in order without gaps. The public can inspect that register during normal business hours. The law retains the rule that municipal warrants unpaid for lack of funds must be marked with the date and reason. Those warrants then earn 10% annual interest.
