SF 93 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

Wyoming dividend account.

This bill creates the "Wyoming Dividend Account" within the state's legislative stabilization fund. It would allow the legislature to distribute cash payments to qualifying Wyoming residents annually, based on specific eligibility criteria (e.g., full-year residency, no felony convictions in the prior year, not claimed as a dependent on federal taxes). Funding for these payments would come from 0.5% of annual investment earnings from Wyoming's mineral trust fund, with the remainder going to other state accounts. The bill failed to advance in the legislature (12-19 vote on February 14, 2024) and was never enacted.
