Wyoming 66th Wyoming Legislature
The Wyoming Legislature convened January 12th at noon, for a virtual one-day session. Governor Gordon delivered a message at 2:00 PM. A limited number of committee bills were introduced and referred to standing committees to work on the following week. The Legislature will reconvene on January 27th via Zoom for eight days to consider the worked committee bills. We will be monitoring these bills and update our members as applicable. Final rules and adjournment will happen the first week of February. See 2021 General Session Schedule

In a state heavily dominated by one party there are few checks and balances of legislative actions. Without careful scrutiny by all voters, legislators can be overly influenced by the money from special interests. Those interests maybe in conflict with the vast majority of citizens in the state of Wyoming. Pending bills and actions can be complex and difficult to understand. Titles of bills can be misleading. It is important voters have at least a basic understanding of how legislation may affect their lives and futures. The following links will help in that understanding.
