Legislative Update

Greetings from Cheyenne! This, the sixth week of the 65th General Session, saw the released of the Joint Appropriations Conference Committee Budget compromise. The final bill is a true compromise with neither Chamber getting exactly what it wanted and much of the final product ended up fairly close to the orginal recommendation from the Joint Appropriations Committee.

The House continues to make great progress in considering Senate Files that have been sent to us. There have been many interesting bills debated on the floor this week including:

SF 70 – Landowner and lessee liability limitations

SF 127 – Felony fleeing or eluding police

SF 28 – Banking technology and stock revisions

I still have four bills alive in the Senate. HB 97 is currently being considered on the floor of the Senate and I look forward to its passage. HB97 and HB98 are both bills that work towards expanding broadband in our rural areas of the State, all while at no cost to the State or the taxpayers.
