Wyoming Legislature

A similar bill failed to win introduction into the Senate during the 2020 Budget session.

Wyoming residents could credit money paid in fuel taxes against the fees.

The bill would also allow traffic stops for seat belt violations, rather than requiring another traffic violation before a stop could be made, as required by current law.

The installation of the cameras on Interstates 80 and 25, Teton Pass, and school and construction zones would generate an estimated $72 million in fines.

The Wyoming Legislature hasn't met in a special session since 2004.

The bills were all passed by state lawmakers in the recently-concluded legislative session.

The statement says the legislature is working with Governor Mark Gordon and the Wyoming Department of Health to make sure resources are available.

The bill was changed in the Senate on Monday to say that three ''western states" would have to pass a similar law.

At least 11 states have approved various resolutions to do away with the time changes, and others are pending in other states.

Rep. Dan Laursen said the time change hurts people, including the elderly and school children.

The taxes would raise about $115,000,000 annually, with proceeds going to the Wyoming Schools Foundation.

Governor Mark Gordon told a joint session of the Wyoming Legislature on Monday that ''Wyoming is strong."
