Wyoming's House Bill 56, intended to repeal the carbon capture mandate from House Bill 200, did not advance as the Senate committee ran out of time for legislation. Rep. Chris Knapp supported the repeal, claiming it would relieve economic burdens on consumers, while Randall Luthi, policy director for Gov.

Mark Gordon, argued for retaining the mandate to ensure utilities evaluate carbon capture options. The discussion reflected a broader national trend against coal, with utilities facing economic challenges. The committee ultimately tabled the bill, ending the repeal effort for the session.
