HB0100: Ethanol Tax Credit Changes

Last scannedOct 19, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This bill proposed lowering the yearly limit on ethanol tax credits and requiring producers to buy a certain amount of Wyoming products to qualify.

What it does

  • Reduces the total annual tax credit for ethanol production from four million dollars to three million dollars.
  • Requires ethanol producers to purchase at least 25% of Wyoming origin products used in the distillation process to qualify for credits.
  • Allows producers to apply for credits monthly and receive them in the order applications are received until the yearly limit is reached.
  • Gives the state department authority to create rules to implement these provisions.

Who it affects

  • Ethanol producers in Wyoming who want to redeem tax credits.
  • The state department responsible for tax credits and rules.
  • The Wyoming Department of Agriculture, which determines if natural damage excuses the purchase requirement.

Limits and unknowns

  • This bill did not pass and died in committee, so these changes did not become law.
  • The text is a working draft, so final details might have changed if it had moved forward.
  • The bill does not explain how the state department will verify the origin of products.
