The bill amends existing laws related to the taxation and revenue of alternative fuels in Wyoming, specifically focusing on electric vehicles and alternative fuel taxes. It introduces a per kilowatt hour license tax on electricity used to charge all-electric vehicles at DC fast charging stations, set at four cents ($0.04) per kilowatt hour. Additionally, it establishes an annual decal fee of $200 for all-electric vehicles and $100 for plug-in hybrid vehicles, while also requiring signage to display the price per kilowatt hour, including applicable taxes. The bill includes various definitions related to electric and hybrid vehicles, and it imposes penalties for non-compliance with the signage requirement.

Furthermore, the bill repeals obsolete provisions and mandates the Department of Transportation to create necessary rules for implementation. It also specifies that the effective date for most provisions will be July 1, 2025, with certain sections taking effect earlier on January 1, 2026. The changes aim to modernize the taxation framework for alternative fuels, particularly in light of the growing use of electric vehicles.
