HB 47 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

Solid waste-illegal dumping remediation grants.

HB 47 creates a state grant program to help government entities clean up illegal trash dumps. It allows cities, counties, tribes (like the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho), or other local governments to apply for grants up to $125,000 to fund cleanup efforts at sites where waste was dumped illegally. Applicants must provide a 10% local match, describe the dumpsite and cleanup plan, and agree to use funds only for remediation. The program is funded through a dedicated account, with annual reports required on grant usage. This bill directly affects communities dealing with illegal dumping by providing financial support for cleanup.
