A House panel advanced a bill to invalidate driver's licenses other states issue to undocumented immigrants amid questions about its enforceability and moral caution from a representative of the Catholic Diocese.
The bill is a core plank of the Freedom Caucus platform. #WyLeg
Lawmakers voted Friday to "override" many of the governor's line-item vetoes to the 2024 budget by adding them back into the 2025 supplemental budget.
The move was an unusual one, and the first action taken by the new Appropriations Committee. #WyLeg
The Wyoming Legislature and some sheriffs are simultaneously pursuing programs to align the state with incoming President Donald Trump's deportation agenda, and make the state an unwelcoming place for people in the country without permission. #WyLeg
The Wyoming Freedom Scholarship Act would offer up to $7,000 per family in the 2025-26 school year (and more thereafter based on inflation) for non-public-school costs like tuition or homeschool equipment.
Crucially, the bill would strip income qualification and accountability measures. #WyLeg
Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder supports the effort, which could disrupt several state-federal transactions already in the works.
"I don't think that it's in the best interest of Wyoming that we let them gain more access to our ground," the bill's sponsor said. #WyLeg
Wyoming lawmakers will have a little less money to work with during the 2025 general session, according to a Consensus Revenue Estimating Group report presented to lawmakers Thursday.
The reduction was largely due to lower-than-expected oil prices. #WyLeg
The first day of the 68th Wyoming Legislature's general session got off to an emotional start Tuesday, punctuated by moments of religious declaration, as the Wyoming Freedom Caucus officially took control of the state's House of Representatives. #WyLeg
The Wyoming Senate voted Tuesday to stand by its newly appointed leadership, rejecting a move by Sen. Larry Hicks to rescind a committee chairmanship assigned to Sen. Eric Barlow over a concern that Barlow wasn't sufficiently opposed to abortion. #WyLeg

YOU DID IT, WYOMING! After vehement pushback by our volunteers, the University of Wyoming Board of Trustees rejected a proposal that would have allowed students, staff, and even members of the public with concealed carry permits to carry firearms on campus. #WYleg
Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) signs SF99 into law that bans gender-affirming care for trans youths in the state and forcibly detransitions those currently receiving GAC services. #SF99 #WYLeg

Wyoming's House has proposed a truly evil anti-trans bill in HB156 that would declare gender-affirming care is "not in the best interest" of trans youths in the state. This harmful bill would have massive impact on custody disputes, Child Protection Services, and grandparents rights. #HB156 #WYLeg
This morning the #wyoming #oilandgas commission presents its budget to the #wyleg appropriations committee. One of the agency's priorities is plugging & reclamation of orphaned wells. Wyoming is a leader in this work and with this budget will continue to be into the next year.
