Bill > HB0320

This bill establishes the Taxation and Revenue Task Force 2028, a comprehensive study group designed to analyze and address long-term revenue challenges for local governments and education in Wyoming. The task force will consist of 12 members, including four state legislators (two from the Senate and two from the House), and eight additional members appointed by the governor representing county governments, cities, special districts, school districts, and experts in revenue, taxation, and constitutional law. The task force's primary responsibilities include conducting a detailed analysis of current revenue sources for local governments and school districts, evaluating whether these revenues can adequately support essential services and meet constitutional education mandates, and developing recommendations for sustainable revenue generation through 2050. The task force is required to report its findings and recommendations to the governor, Management Council, and Joint Revenue Interim Committee by December 31, 2026. The bill also appropriates $36,000 for legislative member expenses and $90,000 for other task force expenses, with funds to be used between the bill's effective date and December 31, 2027. The Wyoming Department of Revenue will staff the task force, with potential assistance from legislative service offices, and members will receive standard per diem and travel expenses according to state regulations.
