Allocates $15 million to Wyoming's Office of Tourism for a rodeo and cowboy museum and hall of fame.

This bill appropriates $15 million from the Wyoming tourism reserve and projects account to the Wyoming Office of Tourism for a rodeo and cowboy museum and hall of fame. The funds are to be distributed in phases, with $3 million available immediately, $2 million by July 1, 2026, and $10 million by July 1, 2027. The project requires matching funds and must be approved by the governor, who must determine it will substantially benefit the public. The Wyoming Tourism Board will review and recommend the project, which must aim to increase tourism, jobs, and economic diversification.
