Local government distributions.

HB 42 allocates $105 million from Wyoming's general fund to local governments, primarily distributing funds to cities/towns and counties based on specific formulas. It requires 89% of the total to be split between cities/towns (with 5% reserved for revenue-challenged areas) and counties (11%), plus additional 5.5% allocations for each. The bill mandates two annual payments per fiscal year, with all cities/towns receiving minimum amounts ($15,000 for populations ≤35, $35,000 for larger) before applying a formula based on per capita sales tax revenue and property assessed value. This funding mechanism aims to standardize distributions while providing targeted support for smaller communities.
