HB 29 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Severance tax distribution-highway fund.

HB 29 changes how Wyoming distributes severance taxes from oil and gas extraction. Currently, for fiscal years 2023-2025, two-thirds of these taxes go equally to the Mineral Trust Fund and the Common School Account. Starting in fiscal year 2026, the same two-thirds will instead be deposited into the Highway Fund. This shift affects state budget allocations for roads, schools, and mineral trust programs, effective July 1, 2025.
