Last scannedOct 19, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This law updates how professional licensure boards handle financial audits and applies standard state pay rules to the Board of Funeral Service Practitioners.

What it does

  • Allows the Department of Audit or an independent audit firm to perform required financial audits for licensure boards.
  • Requires the Department of Audit to work with the board to decide how often audits must happen.
  • Specifies that audits must check if spending follows state laws and if cash handling is reasonable.
  • Requires boards to send a copy of the audit report to the Department of Audit and the state auditor.
  • Applies standard state employee pay rules, including mileage and per diem, to the Board of Funeral Service Practitioners.

Who it affects

  • Professional licensure boards that are allowed to set fees for exams, permits, or licenses.
  • The Wyoming State Board of Funeral Service Practitioners.
  • The Department of Audit and the state auditor.

Limits and unknowns

  • The law does not specify the exact dollar amounts for mileage or per diem pay; it refers to existing state employee rules.
  • The specific timing for audits is not set in this law; it is determined later by the Department of Audit in consultation with the board.
