Wyoming lawmakers get stronger rule oversight

For rules noticed beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming’s Management Council designates major rules for added review. These rules cause, or likely cause, at least $1 million in yearly direct or indirect costs to Wyoming’s economy. Rules also qualify for significant harm to competition, jobs, investment, productivity, or innovation, including particular industries or regions. The Legislative Service Office must send each major rule to every legislator within 15 days of submission. It must complete an economic analysis within 50 days and publish it. The analysis covers the rule’s need, legal authority, alternatives, benefits, compliance costs, indirect costs, state finances, and lost economic opportunities. It also lists sources, assumptions, uncertainties, and comments from legislators; agencies must supply requested information and help. Agencies must notify all legislators about rules, and lawmakers can seek a legislative order blocking a major rule after publication. The law provides $400,000 from the general fund for this work, including up to two full-time employees. Funding is available before July 1, 2026, and does not expire at the budget period’s end without further legislative action. The Management Audit Committee must study oversight and staffing during 2025 and report by December 1, 2025. It may sponsor changes during the 2026 budget session, and recommended staff funding may be requested in the 2025 appropriations bill. The law does not give households direct payments or change their eligibility for benefits.
