Bill > HB0124

This bill amends Wyoming's alcoholic beverage laws to eliminate the excise tax on malt beverages and make several related technical changes. Specifically, the bill removes the existing requirement for malt beverage wholesalers to report and pay state excise taxes, and eliminates the half-cent per liter tax previously imposed on malt beverages. The legislation continues to maintain existing restrictions on personal importation of alcoholic beverages, allowing individuals to bring in up to five gallons of malt beverages, nine liters of wine, or three liters of other alcoholic liquors for personal use. The bill also updates various sections of state law to remove references to malt beverage taxes and standardizes language around alcoholic liquor regulations. These changes will simplify tax collection for malt beverage wholesalers and remove a specific tax category for malt beverages, effectively reducing the tax burden on these products. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving businesses and state agencies time to adjust to the new regulatory framework.
