Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

More funding for Campbell County schools

Campbell County School District #1 gets $20 million for high school design, construction, site work, and demolition, supplementing earlier design funding. Another $130.88 million is available for high school construction and demolition beginning March 15, 2026. The law also provides $14.47 million for construction and demolition of a building serving the district's transportation facility. Building disposal or demolition requires School Facilities Commission approval, inclusion in the district's facility plan, and state financial and public benefits. Funds stay available until project completion; unused money not committed to expenses then returns to the Public School Foundation Program account.

Extra funding covers school project costs

The law provides $11.71 million for unexpected costs on specified school facility projects funded by the act. It also preserves and reuses up to $13.4 million in available, unspent money already committed under a 2023 appropriation. That reused money can only cover inflation costs on commission-approved, legislatively funded projects; it cannot be transferred or change project scope or design. The State Construction Department must report monthly on spending, project progress, and departures from the estimated spending schedule, including inflation funding. Reports go to the two legislative oversight committees and Governor; the schedule guides spending but is not binding or a funding guarantee.

More money for Wyoming school repairs

The law provides $29.83 million from the Public School Foundation Program account for 17 listed major school maintenance projects. Projects cover districts in Sublette, Converse, Campbell, Platte, Sheridan, Uinta, Fremont, Hot Springs, Johnson, Big Horn, and Goshen counties. Spending must follow school facility plans and state requirements; funds remain available until each project is complete. Unused money not committed to expenses then returns to the account. The School Facilities Division and Commission must also study putting the State Construction Department in charge of major repairs and replacements. The study covers effects on agencies and districts receiving construction funding from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2026. Findings go to the Joint Appropriations Committee and Select Committee on School Facilities each October 1, from 2025 through 2031.
