Proposal would require ATM parks donation option
Posted 6/26/12
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A legislative panel meeting this week will consider a proposal that would require ATMs in the state to give customers the option of donating to state parks and historic sites.
Republican state Sen. Bruce Burns, of Sheridan, is sponsoring a draft of the bill that was to be presented to the Legislature's Joint Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources Interim Committee.
The committee is meeting Tuesday and Wednesday in Rock Springs.
Burns tells the Wyoming Tribune Eagle that he came up with the idea as an "out-of-the-box way" to deal with possible budget cuts that the state faces.
With tourism being Wyoming's second-biggest industry, he says he thought the ATM donation feature would be of interest.
