Legislative Update

Greetings from Cheyenne! As the 7th Week of the 65th General Session comes to an end, we have seen both the deadline for bills to come out of committee and the last day for bills to be considered in the Committee of the Whole. There are just three days left for the 65th General Session of the Wyoming Legislature.

The House managed to get through all of the General File bills from the Senate and will work the bills on 2nd and 3rd reading in the coming days.

Bills of note include:

SF 104 – Wyoming Chancery Court

SJ 9 – Medal of Honor Highway

SF 85 – Wyoming Medicaid Fraud Control Act

Two of my bills, HB 97 and HB 9,8 have passed both Chambers and are currently awaiting Governor Gordon’s signature. Two others are still working their way through the process and I expect them to make it to the Governor’s desk.

Both bills are intended to ease broadband buildout in rural areas and municipalities.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 307-282-0968 or email me at [email protected]. You can also find updates about my work on my Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/Tyler4HD1.
