Changes to City and Town Salary Publication Rules

Last scannedOct 19, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This law changes when cities and towns must publish employee salary information and updates what details must be included in that publication.

What it does

  • Requires cities and towns to publish salary information within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year.
  • Changes the required publication timing from January and July to a 60-day window after the fiscal year ends.
  • Requires the publication to list the name, position, and gross monthly salary for each full-time employee and elected official.
  • Requires a statement explaining that salaries are gross monthly amounts and do not include fringe benefits or overtime.

Who it affects

  • Cities and towns in Wyoming that are required to publish meeting minutes.
  • Full-time employees and elected officials in those cities and towns whose salary information is published.

Limits and unknowns

  • The bill text does not specify the exact start and end dates of the fiscal year for all cities and towns.
  • The bill does not detail how cities and towns must technically post the information, only that they must publish it.
