Propositions and State Amendments voters should be aware of

Ballot Propositions:

Ballot Proposition 1: “Shall the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Albany, State of Wyoming be authorized to continue to impose a general purpose excise tax of 1% upon retail sales of tangible personal property, admissions and services made within the county, for general revenue purposes for the period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026?”

Ballot Proposition 3: “Shall the Board of Commissioners of the County of Albany, State of Wyoming be authorized to continue to impose, as allowed by Wyoming Statute, a two percent (2%) excise tax upon the sales price paid for lodging services within Albany County, the primary purpose of which is for local-travel and tourism promotion?”

WY Constitutional Amendments:

Constitutional Amendment A:

The Wyoming Constitution allows the state to invest state funds in equities such as the stock of corporations, but does not allow the funds of counties, cities and other political subdivisions to be invested in equities. The adoption of this amendment would allow the funds of counties, cities and other political subdivisions to be invested in equities to the extent and in the manner the legislature may allow by law. Any law authorizing the investment of specified political subdivision funds in equities would require a two-thirds vote of both houses of the legislature. 

Constitutional Amendment B:

Currently, the Wyoming Constitution requires Wyoming Supreme Court justices and district court judges to retire upon reaching the age of seventy (70). This amendment increases the mandatory retirement age of Supreme Court justices and district court judges from age seventy (70) to age seventy-five (75).
