Bill Summary - 22LSO-0285 Bill No.: SF0003 Effective: 7/1/2022 12:00:00 AM LSO No.: 22LSO-0285 Enrolled Act No.: SEA No. 0035 Chapter No.: 68 Prime Sponsor: Joint Transportation, Highways & Military Affairs Interim Committee Catch Title: Radioactive materials transport fee. Subject: Clarifying and increasing the emergency response fee for transporting radioactive materials across the state. Summary/Major Elements: This act provides for a single emergency response fee for the transportation of radioactive materials through the state and increases the existing fee. Wyoming law currently lists the fee in two places; so this act strikes the duplicate fee and language and specifies the proper deposit of the fee. The above summary is not an official publication of the Wyoming Legislature and is not an official statement of legislative intent. While the Legislative Service Office endeavored to provide accurate information in this summary, it should not be relied upon as a comprehensive abstract of the bill.
