CHEYENNE (AP) -- The Senate Revenue Committee endorsed tax breaks Thursday for low-income families, the disabled, and senior citizens over the age of 65.

The bills would amend existing tax relief statutes.

The committee unanimously approved House Bill 92 that would amend the current property tax refund program for the poor to include more low-income families.

The measure would give property tax breaks to people who have lived in the state for five years or more who have household incomes less than two-thirds of their county's average annual household income.

The committee also approved House Bill 151, which amends tax relief for the disabled and poor senior citizens.

The bill would give tax breaks for disabled people and senior citizens with incomes of less than $17,500. It would also give breaks to married couples who make less than $28,500 if at least one spouse is totally disabled or over 65 years old.

Current Wyoming law gives tax refunds to disabled people and senior citizens with an income of no more than $13,500 for singles and no more than $22,000 for married couples.

Under the bill, people without property are also eligible for tax refunds on sales, fuel, and other taxes.

Both bills go to the full Senate for consideration next.
