CASPER, Wyo. Fuel tax hikes being proposed in Wyoming would raise an estimated $60.3 million in extra funding for the state, according to the Wyoming Legislative Service Office (LSO).
House Bill 26, sponsored by the Wyoming Legislature’s Joint Revenue Interim Committee, proposes raising the gasoline, diesel and alternative fuel tax from 24 cents per gallon to 33 cents per gallon.
The LSO explains that in addition to the 9 cent fuel tax hikes, the bill would also create “comparable increases in the tax distributions on fuel used in snowmobiles, motorboats and off-road recreational vehicles.”
