CASPER, Wyo. The Wyoming House of Representatives passed House Bill 121 on third reading on Tuesday, March 9. The legislation appropriates funding for state funded capital construction projects.
Including amendments to the original draft of the bill, House Bill 121 appropriates about $129 million to various construction projects throughout the state and would establish an $11 million contingency fund.
House Appropriations Committee Chair Bob Nicholas (Laramie County) said on Tuesday that the legislature did not pass a capital construction bill in 2020 and that passing one this year would help “keep Wyoming moving forward.” He said the state missed out on $50-100 million in new projects without a capital construction bill last year.
