Bill Calls For Support of Wyoming Business
-
Feb 18, 2010
The AFL-CIO, Wyoming Contractors Association, ABC Wyoming, National Electrical Contractors Association and Wyoming Building and Construction Trades are supporting an important bill that is on general file in the Wyoming House.
HB 89, Resident Contractor Preferences, would support Wyoming jobs and the Wyoming economy by requiring all public contracts to be let to a Wyoming resident as long as the bid is not more than 5% higher than a lower non-resident bid.
All bills on general file must go on first reading by Friday or they will die on general file. Wyoming projects, such as stimulus supported highway projects or capitol construction, should be let to Wyoming companies and subcontractors. Let’s hope the majority leadership agrees and moves the bill up for first reading before it is too late.
