Maddy summaryHB 127 raises income thresholds for Wyoming's tax refund program for elderly and disabled residents. It increases the income limit for single individuals (65+ or totally disabled) from $13,500 to $17,500 annually, and for married couples (with one spouse 65+ or disabled) from $22,000 to $28,500. The refund amount for singles is $800 (reduced if income exceeds $10,000), and for married couples it is $900 (reduced if income exceeds $16,000).

Maddy summaryThis Wyoming bill (SF 101) allows employers to deduct money from an employee's final paycheck to cover theft or damage caused by the employee. It applies to most employees but excludes commission-based sales agents with custody of company funds. Employers may only deduct if the employee admits the theft or a court determines it, and they cannot withhold wages for more than three months while pursuing legal action. The law modifies existing wage payment rules to clarify this deduction process.
Maddy summaryThis bill (SF 117) allows University of Wyoming (UW) license plates to be issued for both passenger cars and trucks using the same distinctive number, with a symbol or letter (like "C" or "T") to differentiate vehicle types. It directly affects UW license plate holders who own both a car and a truck, enabling them to use the same plate number for both vehicles. The key provision modifies existing law to permit this shared numbering system starting July 1, 2019, while requiring the Department of Transportation to reimburse the University of Wyoming for implementation costs up to $76,200. The bill does not change the $100 fee or plate design requirements.
