250 Bills, 93 Legislators and 20 Days
The 67th legislature is in session with a proverbial mountain of work ahead. This year is a budget session and bills related to that will be taken up first. The Legislature will have more than a half-billion-dollar surplus to work with as it crafts the state’s next two-year budget. The Legislature’s Democrats are joining a growing bipartisan chorus to give Wyoming taxpayer money back to the people in the form of better services and tax relief where it’s needed in 2024, instead of hiding more away in permanent savings.
The Democratic Caucus will be focusing on Education and job training, improving healthcare access, property tax relief, voter transparency, and
protecting public lands and individual freedoms. We will be sending out legislative updates on a weekly basis and you can also follow Teton Dems on Facebook and Instagram.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
While by no means a comprehensive list, the following bills are of particular import. Click on the bill's link for more information or utilize the resources listed in the next section. You can see a complete list of proposed legislation here. February 14 is the final day for filing.
The Good: No surprise here: many of the "good bills" are sponsored by Democrats and focus on issues of particular concern to Wyoming's citizens.
The Bad and The Ugly: Also no surprise that the preponderance of these have boilerplate text straight from a national organization and are sponsored by members of Wyoming Freedom Caucus. While some of the titles might seem innocuous, these bills are insidious and dangerous.
Useful Resources
Rather than reinventing the proverbial wheel, here are links to a few organizations who are tracking legislation with a brief description of their focus. In addition, KHOL, Wyoming Public Media and Wyofile each have several reporters in Cheyenne who will provide extensive coverage.
