2006 Budget Session
HJ 7 proposed an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution that would have authorized the Legislature to give surplus tax money to Wyoming citizens.
If the proposed amendment passed the Legislature, and if it was passed by a majority of voters in the next general election, the Legislature would have been allowed to distribute on a per capita basis tax money that it determined was in excess of the amount necessary to support the operations of government or required held in trust.
Proponents thought this was a good idea.
Opponents were highly skeptical of the whole concept, instead preferring to save any extra revenue in the Wyoming Permanent Mineral Trust Fund.
HJ 5 failed the vote for introduction in the House by a wide margin, with only 10 representatives voting in favor. The votes listed below are the House votes for introduction. A YES vote means the representative wanted to consider amending the Wyoming Constitution to authorize the Legislature to give surplus tax money to citizens. A NO vote means the representative did not want to consider this constitutional amendment.
