Catch Title:
Fuel tax-gasoline definition.

Subject:
Taxation and revenue

Summary/Major
Elements:

Currently
in statute, methane, ethane, butane and liquefied gas are excluded from
taxation as a fuel tax under Title 39, Chapter 17, Article 1 of the Wyoming
Statutes, even when these substances are used as a transportation fuel on
public roadways.

This
act allows for taxation of methane, ethane, butane and liquefied gas as gasoline
when those substances are used for propelling or operating motor vehicles or
airplanes under Title 39, Chapter 17, Article 1.

Removes
potential inconsistencies in the definition of gasoline at 39-17-101(a)(xii)
which taxes natural gas as gasoline when used to propel an aircraft or motor
vehicle, but excludes methane.
