Wyoming funds 911 service and planning

The law provides $3.75 million from Wyoming’s Legislative Stabilization Reserve Account for current 911 services and future planning. Of that, $3 million funds grants for governing bodies that already operate 911 systems. Applicants must explain their funding shortfall and provide other information required by the Wyoming Department of Transportation. The department must approve requested amounts it finds necessary to operate the current system, using the grant funds. Applications must open by July 1, 2026. Another $750,000 funds a study of the move to next-generation 911, with input from stakeholders and industry. The study must cover system oversight, operations, costs, ways to work more efficiently, and funding. Findings are due to the Joint Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Interim Committee by September 1, 2027. The law takes effect immediately upon becoming law, and funding runs through June 30, 2028. The money cannot be transferred to other uses; funds not committed by that deadline return as required by law.
