Bill Summary - 25LSO-0155 Bill No.: SF0034 Effective: 7/1/2025 LSO No.: 25LSO-0155 Enrolled Act No.: SEA No. 0097 Chapter No.: 145 Prime Sponsor: Select Committee on School Facilities Catch Title: K-12 school facilities maintenance and appropriations. Has Report: No Subject: Routine and major maintenance calculations amendments for K-12 school facilities / Appropriations for K-12 school facilities. Summary/Major Elements: For school year 2025-2026 only, this act amends the calculations for routine maintenance within the educational resource block grant model and major building and facility repair and replacement (major maintenance) for K-12 public school districts by increasing the allowable educational square footage from one hundred fifteen percent (115%) to one hundred thirty‑five percent (135%) of the School Facilities Commission's adequacy standards. Beginning school year 2025-2026, and each school year thereafter, this act increases the cost replacement value percentage multiplier utilized in the calculation of major maintenance for K-12 school facilities across Wyoming from two percent (2%) to two and one‑half percent (2.5%). This act appropriates thirty‑eight million one hundred thousand dollars ($38,100,000.00) from the Public School Foundation Program Account to the State Construction Department for the increased major maintenance payments to school districts required as a result of this act. If 2025 House Bill 0259 (Wyo. Session Laws, Ch. 118) would not have been enacted into law, this act would have appropriated twenty million dollars ($20,000,000.00) from the Public School Foundation Program Account to the School Facilities Commission for the demolition, site preparation, and construction of a high school in Campbell County School District #1. 2025 House Bill 0259 was, however, enacted into law. The above summary is not an official publication of the Wyoming Legislature and is not an official statement of legislative intent. While the Legislative Service Office endeavored to provide accurate information in this summary, it should not be relied upon as a comprehensive abstract of the bill.
