The Wyoming Legislature’s Joint Appropriations Committee (JAC) will conduct supplemental budget hearings starting Monday. A live video stream will be available on the Wyoming Legislature’s YouTube channel.
The supplemental budget hearings and discussion of draft legislation will be conducted in Room E301 of the Wyoming State Capitol. The detailed schedule and associated materials are available on the Legislature’s website at www.wyoleg.gov.
Each state agency or department making a supplemental budget request will appear before the JAC during budget hearings. A supplemental budget request occurs when an agency believes it may need additional funding or for purposes of funding reductions to the agency’s approved 2025-2026 biennial budget. Once the hearings are complete, the JAC will then “work” the budgets and approve, deny, or modify each request. Newly appointed members of the JAC will also have an opportunity to consider budgets when the Committee reconvenes in January.
The 2025 General Session convenes on January 14. The full Legislature will debate and approve the supplemental budget bill during “budget week” scheduled for January 31 to February 7.
