"(a) There is appropriated from the general fund to the
state treasurer twenty-one million dollars ($21,000,000.00) to be distributed
to cities and towns on October 1, 2004:
(i) From this distribution each city
and town shall receive an amount in accordance with a municipal supplemental
funding formula as provided in this paragraph with each city or town receiving
an amount in the proportion which the adjusted population of the city or town
bears to the adjusted population of all cities and towns in Wyoming. The municipal supplemental funding formula
shall be calculated by the state treasurer as follows:
(A) Calculate the per
capita distribution of sales and use tax revenues for the 2004 fiscal year to
each county, including distributions to each city and town within that county,
under W.S. 39‑15‑111 and 39‑16‑111;
(B) Arrange the counties
in ascending order by the per capita distribution calculated;
(C) Following the arrangement
of counties in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, list the population of each
city and town within the county;
(D) Apply the appropriate
adjustment factor determined in subdivisions (I) through (IV) of this
subparagraph for a county to each city and town within that county:
(I) Beginning with the
county with the lowest per capita distribution, an adjustment factor of one and
one-half (1.5) shall be applied to each county listed under subparagraph (B) of
this paragraph, so long as its incorporated population plus the incorporated
population of each county with a lower per capita distribution is within the
lowest tenth percentile. The adjustment
factor shall be applied for each of these counties by multiplying the
incorporated population of the county by one hundred fifty percent (150%);
(II) An adjustment factor
determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the county with the next
higher per capita distribution not qualifying for the adjustment factor under
subdivision (I) of this subparagraph.
The adjustment factor for this county shall be determined by:
(1) Multiplying by one
hundred fifty percent (150%) that portion of the incorporated population of
that county which is within the lowest tenth percentile;
(2) Multiplying by one hundred
twenty-five percent (125%) the incorporated population of that county which is
within the lowest twentieth percentile and at or above the tenth percentile;
(3) If applicable,
multiplying by one hundred percent (100%) the incorporated population of that
county which is at or above the twentieth percentile;
(4) Dividing the sum of
the products of subdivisions (II)(1) through (3) of this subparagraph by the
incorporated population of that county.
(III) If an adjustment
factor has not been applied under subdivision (I) or (II) of this subparagraph,
an adjustment factor of one and one-quarter (1.25) shall be applied to each
county listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, so long as its
incorporated population plus the incorporated population of each county with a
lower per capita distribution does not exceed the twentieth percentile. The adjustment factor shall be applied for
each of these counties by multiplying the incorporated population of the county
by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%);
(IV) An adjustment factor
determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the next higher listed
county not qualifying for the adjustment factor under subdivision (III) of this
subparagraph. The adjustment factor for
this county shall be determined by:
(1) Multiplying by one
hundred twenty-five percent (125%) that portion of the incorporated population
of that county which is within the lowest twentieth percentile;
(2) Multiplying by one
hundred percent (100%) the incorporated population of that county which is at
or above the lowest twentieth percentile;
(3) Dividing the sum of
the products of subdivisions (IV)(1) and (2) of this subparagraph by the
incorporated population of that county.
(V) An adjustment factor
of one (1) shall be applied to the remaining counties.
(E) Distribute revenues
under this paragraph on a per capita basis using the total adjusted population
for all cities and towns and the adjusted population for each city or town as
calculated under subparagraph (D) of this paragraph.
(F) As used in this
paragraph:
(I) A county's
"incorporated population" means the population of all cities and
towns within the county;
(II) "Percentile"
means that portion of the incorporated population as listed in the arrangement
of cities and towns under subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph.

"(a) There is appropriated from the general fund to the
office of state lands and investments forty-nine million dollars ($49,000,000.00)
to be distributed to cities and towns in two (2) equal distributions of
twenty-four million five hundred thousand dollars ($24,500,00.00). The first distribution shall be on October
1, 2004 and the second on October 1, 2005.
(i) From these distributions each
city and town shall receive amounts in accordance with a municipal supplemental
funding formula as provided in this paragraph with each city or town receiving
amounts in the proportion which the adjusted population of the city or town
bears to the adjusted population of all cities and towns in Wyoming. The municipal supplemental funding formula
shall be calculated by the state treasurer as follows:
(A) Calculate the per
capita distribution of sales and use tax revenues for the preceding fiscal year
to each county, including distributions to each city and town within that
county, under W.S. 39‑15‑111 and 39‑16‑111;
(B) Arrange the counties
in ascending order by the per capita distribution calculated;
(C) Following the
arrangement of counties in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, list the
population of each city and town within the county;
(D) Apply the appropriate
adjustment factor determined in subdivisions (I) through (V) of this
subparagraph for a county to each city and town within that county:
(I) Beginning with the
county with the lowest per capita distribution, an adjustment factor of one and
one-half (1.5) shall be applied to each county listed under subparagraph (B) of
this paragraph, so long as its incorporated population plus the incorporated
population of each county with a lower per capita distribution is within the
lowest tenth percentile. The adjustment
factor shall be applied for each of these counties by multiplying the
incorporated population of the county by one hundred fifty percent (150%);
(II) An adjustment factor
determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the county with the next
higher per capita distribution not qualifying for the adjustment factor under
subdivision (I) of this subparagraph.
The adjustment factor for this county shall be determined by:
(1) Multiplying by one
hundred fifty percent (150%) that portion of the incorporated population of
that county which is within the lowest tenth percentile;
(2) Multiplying by one
hundred twenty-five percent (125%) the incorporated population of that county
which is within the lowest twentieth percentile and at or above the tenth
percentile;
(3) If applicable,
multiplying by one hundred percent (100%) the incorporated population of that
county which is at or above the twentieth percentile;
(4) Dividing the sum of
the products of subdivisions (II)(1) through (3) of this subparagraph by the
incorporated population of that county.
(III) If an adjustment factor
has not been applied under subdivision (I) or (II) of this subparagraph, an
adjustment factor of one and one-quarter (1.25) shall be applied to each county
listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, so long as its incorporated
population plus the incorporated population of each county with a lower per
capita distribution does not exceed the twentieth percentile. The adjustment factor shall be applied for
each of these counties by multiplying the incorporated population of the county
by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%);
(IV) An adjustment factor
determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the next higher listed
county not qualifying for the adjustment factor under subdivision (III) of this
subparagraph. The adjustment factor for
this county shall be determined by:
(1) Multiplying by one
hundred twenty-five percent (125%) that portion of the incorporated population
of that county which is within the lowest twentieth percentile;
(2) Multiplying by one
hundred percent (100%) the incorporated population of that county which is at
or above the lowest twentieth percentile;
(3) Dividing the sum of
the products of subdivisions (IV)(1) and (2) of this subparagraph by the
incorporated population of that county.
(V) An adjustment factor
of one (1) shall be applied to the remaining counties.
(E) Distribute revenues
under this paragraph on a per capita basis using the total adjusted population
for all cities and towns and the adjusted population for each city or town as
calculated under subparagraph (D) of this paragraph.
(F) As used in this
paragraph:
(I) A county's
"incorporated population" means the population of all cities and
towns within the county;
(II) "Percentile"
means that portion of the incorporated population as listed in the arrangement
of cities and towns under subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph.

county, under W.S. 39‑15‑111 and 39‑16‑111;
(B) Arrange the counties
in ascending order by the per capita distribution calculated;
(C) Following the
arrangement of counties in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, list the
population of each city and town within the county;
(D) Apply the appropriate
adjustment factor determined in subdivisions (I) through (V) of this
subparagraph for a county to each city and town within that county:
(I) Beginning with the
county with the lowest per capita distribution, an adjustment factor of one and
one-half (1.5) shall be applied to each county listed under subparagraph (B) of
this paragraph, so long as its incorporated population plus the incorporated
population of each county with a lower per capita distribution is within the
lowest tenth percentile. The adjustment
factor shall be applied for each of these counties by multiplying the
incorporated population of the county by one hundred fifty percent (150%);
(II) An adjustment factor
determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the county with the next
higher per capita distribution not qualifying for the adjustment factor under
subdivision (I) of this subparagraph.
The adjustment factor for this county shall be determined by:
(1) Multiplying by one
hundred fifty percent (150%) that portion of the incorporated population of
that county which is within the lowest tenth percentile;
(2) Multiplying by one
hundred twenty-five percent (125%) the incorporated population of that county
which is within the lowest twentieth percentile and at or above the tenth
percentile;
(3) If applicable,
multiplying by one hundred percent (100%) the incorporated population of that
county which is at or above the twentieth percentile;
(4) Dividing the sum of
the products of subdivisions (II)(1) through (3) of this subparagraph by the
incorporated population of that county.
(III) If an adjustment
factor has not been applied under subdivision (I) or (II) of this subparagraph,
an adjustment factor of one and one-quarter (1.25) shall be applied to each
county listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, so long as its
incorporated population plus the incorporated population of each county with a
lower per capita distribution does not exceed the twentieth percentile. The adjustment factor shall be applied for
each of these counties by multiplying the incorporated population of the county
by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%);
(IV) An adjustment factor
determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the next higher listed
county not qualifying for the adjustment factor under subdivision (III) of this
subparagraph. The adjustment factor for
this county shall be determined by:
(1) Multiplying by one
hundred twenty-five percent (125%) that portion of the incorporated population
of that county which is within the lowest twentieth percentile;
(2) Multiplying by one
hundred percent (100%) the incorporated population of that county which is at
or above the lowest twentieth percentile;
(3) Dividing the sum of
the products of subdivisions (IV)(1) and (2) of this subparagraph by the
incorporated population of that county.
(V) An adjustment factor
of one (1) shall be applied to the remaining counties.
(E) Distribute the remainder
of the revenues under this paragraph on a per capita basis using the total
adjusted population for all cities and towns and the adjusted population for
each city or town as calculated under subparagraph (D) of this paragraph.
(F) As used in this
paragraph:
(I) A county's "incorporated population"
means the population of all cities and towns within the county;
(II) "Percentile"
means that portion of the incorporated population as listed in the arrangement
of cities and towns under subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph.".

[TRIBAL
DISPUTE RESOLUTION]
Section 323.
All appropriations to the tribes are for the specific purposes
identified. In the event that a dispute
arises over the implementation of any executed contract regarding any
appropriation, the state and the tribes agree to enter into good faith
negotiations to resolve the dispute. In
the event that negotiations fail to resolve the differences, the state and the
tribes may agree to pursue nonbinding arbitration. Each side shall pay the costs, if any, of its selected arbitrator
and to share the costs, if any, of the third party arbitrator. Appropriations to the tribes are made in
recognition that tribal members are citizens of Wyoming entitled to equal
privileges. Fulfilling the intended
purposes of the appropriations is best achieved through a cooperative approach
between the state and the tribes. If
the dispute cannot be resolved, the appropriation shall remain with the state
of Wyoming.".
