Local government distributions.
Wyoming's HB 70 allocates $105 million from the state general fund to local governments, primarily distributing funds to cities, towns, and counties. It provides a minimum $15,000 to municipalities with 35 or fewer residents and $35,000 to larger ones, with the remainder distributed using formulas based on sales tax revenue and property values. Special provisions reserve 5% of funds for cities/towns using a "revenue challenged" formula to address financial disparities. The bill establishes equal annual payments on August 15 and January 15 for two fiscal years, affecting all Wyoming municipalities and counties receiving state funding.
