R · H54
Why they voted this way
The speaker supports the change because removing general fund dollars for highway oversight requires a new revenue source to prevent adverse impacts on commercial airports that rely on those funds.
R · H09
Why they voted this way
The speaker urges a non-concurrence vote because they believe the bill should stand firm on its original position without including a tax, as concerns were already addressed before it left the house.
Why they voted this way

The speaker supports the bill because fees have not been raised since 1975, and a significant portion of highway users are non-residents who should contribute rather than relying on general funds.
Why they voted this way

Why they voted this way
The speaker opposes concurrence because they view the fee increases as unrelated to inflation and harmful to people who have lost jobs or gone into bankruptcy.
Why they voted this way
The speaker supports the compromise because it lowers fees for passenger vehicles while ensuring heavy interstate trucks, which cause more road damage, pay a higher apportionment fee to meet budget shortfalls.
R · H08
Why they voted this way
The speaker supports the amendment because it reduces registration fees for in-state residents and farmers while shifting costs to out-of-state trucks, making it a better deal for Wyoming constituents.
Why they voted this way
The speaker supports concurrence because fees have not been raised since 1975, which is unsustainable like a business that hasn't adjusted prices in decades.

H48, H60
Why they voted this way

Why they voted this way
