2021 Bills: Jan 19, 20 & 21

January 19, 20 & 21 were WSL Standing Committee meetings to consider and take public testimony on assigned bills.  The Wyoming legislative session meetings did not take place at the seat of government, which goes against our WY State Constitution.  Instead the meetings were unconstitutionally scheduled to be remote and virtual.

Table of bills from all three days are below.  Our comments on any bills that we feel require an alert are in CAPITAL LETTERS.
