UPDATE: WSL dropped the ball on providing any link for today’s live-streamed meeting. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8nai6GKkl0
An informal meeting of both the House and Senate Rules & Procedures Committees, to discuss the potential rules for a special session to address vaccine mandates, will take place Thursday, Oct 21, 2021 at 3PM . This meeting will be live-streamed via https://www.wyoleg.gov/. No formal action will take place and no public comments will be taken.
Why is this meeting taking place?
The first action for the scheduled Oct 26 – Oct 28 special session is that a 2/3 super-majority vote of both chambers must agree to the Rules & Procedures required to conduct a legislative session. Thus, the rules and procedures discussed at the Oct 21 informal meeting will be voted on as the first course of business on the first day of special session scheduled for Oct 26th at 10AM. If the 2/3 super-majority vote required by both chambers on the rules and procedures is unsuccessful, the special session will not move forward, and instead will be adjourned.
The meeting notice and draft proposed rules to be discussed were posted on Oct 19, 2021 (see copy below).
