Tracking Statewide Arts & Culture Issues
With generous member support, WyAA tracks issues throughout the year to keep our educational programs and communications content current. Increasing legislative awareness enables Wyoming’s cultural champions to better identify critical opportunities to demonstrate the benefits of the arts and culture in Wyoming.
The State Legislature meets once a year in the first quarter to consider and pass legislation, including a budget. Then, throughout the rest of the year, new budgets and legislation are prepared for consideration in the following year.
INTRODUCED
When legislation involving the Wyoming arts and culture community is introduced, the Legislative Services Office makes those bills available online to the public. Introduced legislation that WyAA is tracking will be automatically posted below as it becomes available. Please use the form at the bottom of this page to contact us if there are any bills you’d like us to take a look at adding to this list.
