  • 2021 #11 Bill Summary.Docx
    1 Summary of bills of interest in the 2021 Wyoming Legislature as of March 29, 2021 Bill status is provided in blue italic text. Dead bill titles are in red text. THE BUDGET HB1and SF1 – The Joint Conference Committee of 5 House and 5 Senate members met all last week and got a compromise budget bill (JCC Report) completed and ready to sign and present to the two chambers this week. Once that JCC Report hits the floors, it should be available on the LSO Website, probably on the digests of the two bills. You can read it then and also listen as the conferees “sell” the compromise to their colleagues, who can reject the report and tell their conferees to go back and try again. If/when both chambers accept the report, it goes to the governor’s desk. HB171 Executive branch funding restoration – Rep. Steve Harshman 145day account) to the state auditor and make it available to the governor to restore cuts to the departments of Health, Family Services and Corrections to sustain social services programs. This is co-sponsored by House Majority Floor Leader Albert Sommers and Sens. Bill Landen and Jeff Wasserburger. This triples the emergency funding set by Joint Appropriations. Died on a 30-30 3rd reading vote in the House. GOVERNMENT HB158 Local land use planning and zoning – Rep. Steve Harshman, R-Casper This would give primacy to enacted zoning regulations – over land use plans -- as local governments make decisions. If plans and regulations conflict, the regulations win. Sponsors include several House and Senate committee chairmen.
