The prayer was given by Father Thomas Cronkleton.

GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS TO THE 2004 SPECIAL SESSION OF THE WYOMING LEGISLATURE Madame President, Mr. Speaker, members of the 57th Legislature, members of the Court, fellow elected officials and, most importantly, citizens of Wyoming: I appreciate this opportunity to speak to you this morning in accord with the Wyoming Constitution.

To the members of the Legislature, a special welcome to your Capitol building. I am among the few people in the state who is actually pleased to see you here in session. I would also offer that there is no truth to the rumors that I turned off the air conditioning. I know it's going to be hot, but I offer this observation. There's air conditioning in the rest of the building but, for some reason, the Legislature in its wisdom chose not to air condition its chambers. To the extent your debate contributes to the heat, you might want to ease off a bit. To the extent it contributes to the light, I would encourage you to proceed.

I want to observe with regard to the nature of this session that your presence here proves the Wyoming system of citizen legislators and time-limited legislative sessions does work. The opportunity for extra legislative sessions allows for the reexamination of significant issues which remained unresolved at the end of the regular session.

Much comment has been devoted to the historic nature of our activities commencing this first session of the Legislature that was actually convened by the Legislature. While the method of convening may be notable, our conduct will determine whether or not we are embarked on an occasion of historical note.

By way of illustration, I would offer the following. The anniversary of arguably the most important day in Wyoming's history, Statehood Day, passed this weekend with barely an acknowledgement of the day and certainly no reference to the people involved. Actions and deeds accomplished on and around Statehood Day, not the actors or the date, created the opportunity for all of us to be citizens of this great state.

So it is with our endeavors this week. Ultimately, the test applied by our citizens and historians is the same: Were actions taken, and were deeds accomplished?

People tell you and me throughout the state how worried they are that they are not getting or will not be able to receive the healthcare that they need. We owe it to them to make a difference this week; if we don't make a difference this week, they will take note.

We're here to examine healthcare; healthcare costs, quality and accessibility will remain problematic at least for the next decade and perhaps for the next two decades. We should not attempt in these six days to solve all of the problems for all of the people. I continue to support your efforts to maintain a narrow and focused agenda, and I wish to commend the legislative leadership and the members of the committee for their work over the past several 3 weeks. You have accepted testimony from a broad range of people; you have visited issues that have been discussed. I believe the time is now for decisions.

Your consideration of my three suggested goals for this session by the combined Judiciary and Appropriations committees is much appreciated. My remarks to the combined committee set three goals: first, the provision of some short-term relief for doctors facing the rapidly escalating costs of medical malpractice insurance; second, a promising proposal to create a medical errors commission. This proposal alters our historic approach to compensating victims and the provision of medical care and the recognition of medical errors.

The third request was consideration of a simple proposal asking the voters whether they wished to authorize the legislature to consider limitations on non-economic damages in healthcare cases.

We are, in this state, extremely lucky to have the advanced healthcare available to us in this state, the state with the smallest population in the country. But we do have a clear crisis of cost and availability. The crisis exists; the magnitude of it will only increase should we fail to act.

I'll deal with each of those three issues. The first is the question of subsidies. I reluctantly endorsed a limited, short- term premium assistance proposal to help retain healthcare professionals in Wyoming. The premium assistance suggested was 25 percent of premiums, with a maximum amount of $35,000 per physician. This was properly referred to as a subsidy. Now, subsidy is a word none of us like to use, but it is in fact a subsidy, and the government engages in them all the time.

A subsidy is defined in the dictionary as "a grant by a government to a private person or company to assist an enterprise deemed advantageous to the public." This broad-based premium assistance proposal did not survive the legislative committee process and is not to be considered in this session.

Two other subsidy proposals are offered by the Appropriations Committee and are set forth for your consideration. One proposal targets the serious problems in maintaining obstetrics services. House Bill 1009 authorizes a 100 percent reimbursement rate for the providers' usual and customary bills. This measure appropriates $2.8 million in state funds and $3.5 million in federal funds.

While I respect the human impulse that lies behind the proposal, we need to recognize that the added funds of this proposal go only to those physicians providing obstetrics services to Medicaid recipients. Others in the medical profession facing similar problems will not benefit. I would also caution you that a decision to increase reimbursement rates to 100 percent is unlikely to be reversed in the future. This may turn out to be a one-way street.

The second subsidy proposal is House Bill 1011. Contained in it is a two percent, five-year repayment loan program available only to a limited set of physicians meeting certain criteria. Among those criteria is that the coverage is no longer available due to either the insolvency of the insurer or the withdrawal of the insurer from the medical malpractice insurance market in the state. The appropriation attached to this bill is $8.2 million. Again, this is a relatively narrow field of people for whom assistance would be provided. I encourage your careful deliberation on all of these matters.

In this context of state assistance for healthcare providers, I am encouraged by the committee's recommendation to submit to the voters a constitutional amendment to allow the use of state dollars to support healthcare in this state. Healthcare will eventually prove to be an integral part not only of the welfare of citizens of this state, but an integral part of our ability to develop the state's economy.

During a recent trip to New York with the Wyoming Business Council, in a meeting with site locators, who are in charge of finding locations for companies, I was asked the usual questions about tax structure, workforce training funds and all of that, but was also asked about whether or not the state is providing sufficient healthcare and sufficient healthcare facilities. The question was pretty blunt, which is: "If I go to one of my clients," according to the site locator, "and encourage them to go to Wyoming, is there going to be healthcare for their employees? Is there going to be somebody there to deliver the children of the workers? Is there going to be somebody there to take care of the accidents? Is there going to be healthcare in Wyoming?"

Healthcare is inextricably linked with not only the welfare of the citizens of the state, but with the development of the state's economy in the future. This is not something that we can take lightly. We are investing an immense amount of money in economic development. We are investing an immense amount of money in the infrastructure of the state so that we have a state where companies want to grow. But companies are not going to want to grow, and they're not going to want to relocate, to a place that doesn't have healthcare. 4

The second agenda item which I supported was a set of studies, which are called for in the current Appropriations Committee draft, and it's a wide-ranging set of studies. I strongly encourage and support these studies. Complex issues such as healthcare require serious research if we are to make the long-range changes that will keep Wyoming's medical care an asset and not a deficiency. We cannot have too much information. We simply have to have a hard look at any number of these options, and I hope that you will see fit to not only fund those studies, but to take the time to make sure the studies are done right and to take the time to read the results of the studies.

The third item I asked for essentially comes down to trusting the voters. I again urge you to place before the voters the threshold question of whether the Legislature should have the power to limit the amount of non-economic damages awarded by a court and jury in healthcare provider cases. This proposal was narrowly defeated in the budget session, though it received a majority of the votes; it just didn't receive the two-thirds needed to place it before the voters.

I will not revisit all of my comments from the budget session, which I suspect you find as a matter of relief. However, some recent events and some newspaper coverage make clarification of the proposed constitutional amendment necessary. Wyoming law on economic damages and punitive damages is not altered in any manner by the constitutional amendment contained in HJ 1003.

Currently, there are three types of recognized damages under Wyoming law. Economic damages are usually discussed in terms of loss of earnings and earning capacity, medical expenses and caretaking costs. The second type of damages is non-economic damages, generally referred to as pain, suffering and emotional distress. And the third type of damages is punitive or exemplary damages. As the name suggests, these are not so much damages as they are punishment for the defendant or the setting of an example to deter others from engaging in similar conduct in the future. These punitive damages can only be imposed if the defendant is guilty of willful and wanton misconduct.

Neither economic damages nor punitive damages are the subject of this constitutional amendment. This constitutional amendment in itself does not change the law affecting non-economic damages. What it does do is provide the opportunity for legislatures in the future to place a limit on those damages. So if in fact that constitutional amendment is placed before the voters and is passed, the day after it passes, the operative law in the state has not changed. The operative law in the state would only change upon action by a subsequent legislature. This is not a limitation in itself; it is an empowerment of the Legislature to impose such a limitation.

I also want to make clear that I do not support the extension of the amendment beyond its current language limiting the legislative authority to healthcare provider cases.

Questions have arisen as to whether or not a companion statute should be passed specifying the limit and the exact nature of the cases to which it would apply. I have not generally favored this approach for two reasons. First, the reliance on a particular statutory scheme creates the illusion for the voter that the only consequence of the amendment is that statute. But, as we all know, the Legislature can change statutes at any time.

Second, I believe the decision on whether to impose a limitation should be preceded by extensive public discussion and debate. The advisability of a limitation, if any, depends on its applicability to particular circumstances and the definition of the cases to which the cap might or might not apply. The amount and means of adjusting the cap are also important. These discussions become appropriate if and only if the voters give their approval to the constitutional amendment.

The constitution establishes the principle. The implementation and the details become important only if the constitution is changed. I would renew my plea to you to trust the decision-making capacity of the voters. Throughout our history, nearly 120 constitutional matters have been decided by the citizens. Our representative form of government reserves the right to decide constitutional content to the people. Let them exercise that right.

Since the budget session, I traveled extensively throughout the state. I have been struck by how many citizens, including many in this room, voluntarily seek medical care for themselves and their loved ones in the adjoining states of Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. All of these states have some form of limitation. The existence of those limitations has not deterred you, your loved ones or our citizens from choosing to take medical care in those states.

People in all kinds of Wyoming communities can't find a doctor when they need one. The need ranges from a small town like Newcastle, where the three family doctors stopped delivering babies because of insurance problems, to Casper, where a young primary care physician told legislators last week that she has taken on 400 new patients since 5 April. This is because Casper has lost nine primary care doctors who have retired or left the state in the past year. The same doctor said she receives 30 calls a day from people trying to find a primary care doctor.

Many of Wyoming's people are either being closed out or fear being closed out of getting medical care they need close to their home. They shouldn't also be closed out of decisions about how to improve their access to healthcare. They need to be trusted to be part of solving this problem by voting yes or no on a constitutional amendment.

This constitutional amendment issue is an incredibly difficult one, and it is really the reason we're here. I know, over the last couple of years, all of you have been in a similar position that I am. Every special interest – every interest advocacy group, they don't like to be called special interests – every interest advocacy group, whether it's from the insurance companies or the doctors or the lawyers or the political lobbyists, have just hammered. I will tell you that, to varying degrees, they all make me mad.

By the time they're done talking to you, you want to go vote against them just because they've hammered on you. It's really one of those issues where it is incredibly difficult – and it's been difficult for me to sort through my immediate response to the beating I'm taking. And it doesn't matter; you get beat up, as you know, by everybody, whether it's one side or the other. Those who agree with you say you're not doing enough or you're not doing it fast enough; those who disagree with you obviously question whether you have any intelligence at all.

It took me a while to get comfortable with the proposition that the voters ought to be called on to express their views on this. But we all took an oath, and the oath encourages us to override what I call the products of my personal experience. My personal experience obviously is a lawyer, and we're taught from the outset of law school that limitations are bad. And, yet, when you analyze it through, ultimately if the limitation is one that the voters had a chance to express their view on and say, "We believe you ought to consider it," it's still the rule of law, something to which lawyers are committed.

As a Democrat, it's been from cradle to grave that we're supposed to be against these, and I say that to my democratic colleagues. But I will also tell you that the origins of that lay not in a particular philosophy, but in a particular pattern of politics. And I've come to the view that the most important thing for us to do is to focus on the issue. When you travel around the state and you stop at the 7-11 or you stop some place, I don't get asked about four-lane highways. I don't get asked about the nuance of educational assessment. I get asked about healthcare. I get asked about why there isn't the availability of health insurance. I get asked about why their doctors are leaving, why it is that there are people in this state – 70,000 of them – who have no health insurance.

I don't suggest that any of these constitutional amendments constitute a magic bullet or a singular solution, but I also believe that's an improper test. If anybody believes that there is one answer, that there is one simple step we can take to resolve the healthcare issue, they're sadly mistaken. On the propositions that voters be allowed to express their views on limitations and that voters be allowed to express their views on the use of state funds to support healthcare providers, where I've ended up is that the voters ought to have a say.

They ought to have a say at the ballot box, not just a say over the counter to us, not just a say through the interest groups, but the individuals. The argument is made that the people can't understand it, that they're not smart enough, that somehow they don't get it. I think they do get it. I think they understand the issue, and I think they're prepared to make a decision. I will tell you I'm not prepared to predict where the average citizen is going to end up on this, but I do believe that, for the future of this state and for the future of the deliberations of this body and for future governors, that we ought to get some instruction from the citizens of the state on where they want to go.

Let's follow that through. If the voter rejects the constitutional amendment and says, "I don't want a limitation," that makes it clear that we have to look at other avenues, that we have to look at other means of solving the issue. If the voters say, "Yes, you can consider it, but we're going to be watching you," they will be watching. They're going to be watching to see what we end up putting in. In the end, on this issue, I end up being what I call a small-d, Jeffersonian democrat, and I'm proud to be a Democrat. But I also believe that Jefferson was right, that the citizen ultimately ought to have a say about what goes on in their government, particularly with regard to issues that are so personal and so vital as healthcare.

Which brings us back to the form of government we have, which is representative democracy. In that, each of you possesses a remarkable power here today. The vote on these issues is going to be very close. You may decide, by how you cast your vote, whether or not the citizen has an opportunity to express their view in November.

Representative democracy is a remarkable thing, but it imposes on us a responsibility, a responsibility to set aside the personal experiences – and I've tried to do that with regard to being a lawyer or frankly my experiences with 6 doctors, some of which are good, some of which are bad – to set those aside and try to perform our function in a representative democracy. In the context of amending the constitution, our function is to make sure that the issue is placed before the voter in an understandable fashion, as simple and as straightforward as it can be if we're asking them to consider modifying the basic document.

I do not take lightly changing the constitution, but I also do not take lightly my acting as an individual to prevent the voter from having the capacity to make the decision that the founding fathers reserved only to that voter. Each of you, as you sit here making these decisions, has the capacity to decide or not decide – this is a two-thirds vote. Your decision is probably not as critical on any other issue as it is on that. One or two votes made by individuals in this room will decide whether or not the citizens in this state get to participate in a determination as to what's going to happen with healthcare in the next decade or decade and a half.

In closing, I would observe the following. (Poor Lara is going to die because I departed from the text, but that's the press secretary's burden.) It's true that the citizens of Wyoming should have the opportunity to make that tough decision, but both they and I are looking to you this week for many more tough decisions. You have the opportunity before you to take significant first steps toward improving the cost of and access to healthcare in our state. In so doing, you will have addressed some short-term problems while laying the foundation for future debate and longer- term solutions. You will have also defined the role of the Legislature in calling itself into special session on critical issues at critical times in the state's history. I wish you well. This is a week in which your wisdom and your patience will be needed. With that I leave you to your deliberations. God bless you, and God bless this country.

JR0001/A Amend the Joint Rules of the House and Senate by adding the following new Joint Rule 20: 20. MIRROR BILLS FOR 2004 SPECIAL SESSION (a) During the July, 2004 special session of the 57th Legislature, Bills or joint resolutions sponsored by the Joint Appropriations Interim Committee and bills or joint resolutions sponsored jointly by the Joint Judiciary Interim Committee and the Joint Labor, Health and Social Services Interim Committee, shall be introduced as identical or "mirror" bills in the Senate and House of Representatives. (b) As to each pair of mirror bills identified in subsection (a) of this rule, only one (1) of the introduced mirror bills shall be enacted into law. (c) Notwithstanding any provision of Senate Rule 11-3 and House Rule 10-3 or any other rule to the contrary, upon introduction and first reading of a mirror bill in the house of origin, the bill shall be referred directly to Committee of the Whole in lieu of referral to a standing committee. During Committee of the Whole action on a mirror bill, it shall be in order for the chairman of a committee sponsoring the bill to move a recommendation on the mirror bill. (d) Notwithstanding House Rule 12-3 or Joint Rule 4-1, upon passage by the house of origin, a mirror bill identified in subsection (a) of this rule shall be delivered directly to the second house for action without engrossing, but shall be accompanied by amendments adopted by the house of origin. A bill so delivered to, and in the possession of, the second house shall not be recalled for further action by the house of origin without the consent of the second house. (e) Notwithstanding Senate Rules 8-4 and 11-1, House Rules 7-1 and 10-1, and any other rule to the contrary: (1) Upon introduction in the second house, a mirror bill passed by the house of origin shall be placed and considered by the second house on third reading but only after adoption of a corresponding mirror bill by the second house. (2) During third reading debate on a mirror bill in the second house, each amendment adopted by the house of origin to its mirror bill which is not identical to an amendment adopted by the second house on its own corresponding mirror bill shall be explained on the floor by a member of the committee(s) that sponsored the bill who shall be designated by the chairman. (f) At the discretion of the presiding officer, in consultation with the committee on rules and procedure, a voice or roll call vote may be taken during third reading debate in the second house on a mirror bill on any amendment adopted by the house of origin which is not identical to an amendment adopted by the second house on its own corresponding mirror bill, to provide non-binding guidance to members of the conference committee from the second house in its deliberations on developing a conference committee report. Any other amendment shall be out of order. Senate Rule 15-1 and 26-1 and House Rule 14-1 do not apply to debate on house of origin amendments to a mirror bill being considered on third reading in the second house to the extent those rules limit members to speaking no more than twice on the same issue. (g) After explanation of amendments adopted by the house of origin as provided in subsection (e)(2) of this rule, no third reading vote will be taken on a mirror bill in the second house, and the bill shall not be sent back to the house of origin for concurrence. Rather, both mirror bills will be immediately referred to the same joint conference committee appointed by the presiding officers of both houses. (h) Notwithstanding Senate Rule 7-6, House Rule 4-6 or Joint Rules 2-1 through 2-3, the following rules shall govern joint conference committee action on mirror bills: (1) Both mirror bills shall be referred to a single joint conference committee as soon as third reading in the second house is completed; (2) The presiding officers of each house shall, in accordance with these rules and "Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure," appoint a conference committee of five (5) to confer on the two mirror bills. A majority of each conference committee shall be appointed from the prevailing side on the vote for third reading and final passage of the mirror bill originating in that house; (3) The chairmanship for conference committees on mirror bills shall alternate as follows: 10 (a) The Senate shall have the chairmanship on the first meeting day for the first mirror bill referred to joint conference under this rule. The House shall have the chairmanship on the first meeting day for the second mirror bill referred to joint conference under this rule. The initial chairmanship for each additional mirror bill referred to joint conference shall continue to alternate in the same manner. (b) After the first day a conference committee meets on a mirror bill assigned to joint conference under this rule the chairmanship shall alternate between the Senate and House for each additional day the joint conference committee meets. (4) The first joint conference committee appointed is not a free committee, however, Joint Rule 2- 1(b) shall apply and in addition, the conference committee may propose amendments to make language changes in the mirror bill necessary to incorporate amendments adopted by either house. Each successive committee appointed thereafter shall be a free conference committee as defined in Section 773 of "Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure"; (5) The joint conference committee shall consider and dispose of each adopted Senate amendment to the Senate mirror bill and each adopted House amendment to the House mirror bill.

OPENING REMARKS SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE FRED PARADY Good morning and welcome back to the House, the people's House. I relish the hard work that lies before us, and trust the process and our dedication to it and to each other to yield an outcome this week that best serves the citizens of our great state.

My first order of business is to thank all those on the committees who put in the seat time and reading time and thinking time that were necessary to frame up this session. Would the members of Judiciary, LHSS and Appropriations please stand. We owe each of you a debt of gratitude, and especially our leadership chairs — Colin, Doug, and Phil. 11

My second order of business is to describe my hopes and ideals for our work together this week. We won't solve the range of health care issues across Wyoming; even as we recognize how they directly affect each family we serve. We also won't solve every element of the medical malpractice crisis itself. There are no silver bullets, no easy answers, no one-shot solutions.

There are however, a solid range of ideas that will yield progress, and they are in the bills before us. Thanks to solid committee work, we begin with 14 bills, out of the 50+ that were drafted.

Two are duplicative efforts to amend the constitution to allow caps. Your leadership has agreed with the Senate leadership to work HJ1003. 1 believe that this means we will need to debate inserting a floor, which would establish what the minimum cap would be, and potentially a negligence thresh hold into that amendment. My counsel to you is that these steps could strengthen an amendment to present to Wyoming citizens, so that an informed citizenry can reach an informed decision.

I urge you to seek common ground with each other to create an amendment that we can send strongly off this floor and strongly to the people of Wyoming, one that finds a reasonable, fair balance in this generation's debate about the balance between access to justice and access to health care. This does not have to be a zero sum debate. We can, and I have confidence, we will set reasonable limits for doctors while still allowing for reasonable access to justice, for reasonable remedies when things go terribly wrong.

Other ideas that merit support include the open communications or so called 'I'm sorry' bill, HB1004 which builds on common sense notions of human decency that a doctor ought to be able to communicate his regret without signaling his guilt. Another, HB1008, adds to the number of slots for training doctors at the University of Washington that we pay for so that we have more docs with ties to our state in the pipeline coming back to us.

Still others are the companion statute, HB1007 that sets the first ever caps in the state, contingent upon voter approval, which gives our voters a clear understanding of what caps look like. Another, HB1009, moves the Medicaid reimbursement rate for delivering babies to 100% - a practical solution to an urgent, fundamental need that we can all support, that of insuring Wyoming's new mothers can count on having a doctor for delivery.

We also want to keep an eye on our future direction, and set the stage for further work in the coming interim and next general session, particularly with regards to risk retention pools and other innovative ideas that might yield a broader solution.

I want to close by returning to fundamental notions of fairness. I think that it is fair, as we ask voters to lower the constitutional safeguard they have enjoyed for 114 years, that we tell them, in the amendment and the bill, how the deal is balanced, what a cap actually is. I think that it is fair, that we work to solve the issues that are confronting our doctors and making it more difficult to recruit and retain doctors and strengthen health care in our state. Access to health care begins with access to a doctor.

Finally, I think that it is fair, that we work together, to craft a bill, a series of bills, an amendment, a comprehensive package, that is not a Democrat bill or a Republican bill, but is a Wyoming solution, one tailored to our history and our needs. One that we can each walk off this floor, return to our real lives, and tell our friends, family, and neighbors, that we worked hard, worked out our differences, and put before them the best solution we could build.

It is time to quit straddling the fence, time to saddle up and ride, time to do the heavy lifting of calling it as we see it. It is worth noting that when we confronted the worker's compensation crisis, or met the Supreme Court's mandate to reform education finance, each in special session, the work product of those sessions was specific and extensive. We did not shy away from the detail necessary to do the job.

We look forward to working with our colleagues in the Senate, and with our Governor and other statewide elected officials, to build that solution, and then carry it to the voters for their approval this fall. Most of all, I look forward to working with each of you, to sustain our House traditions of collegiality and fairness, of getting the job done when it counts.

OPENING REMARKS MAJORITY FLOOR LEADER RANDALL LUTHI Welcome.

Traditionally the Wyoming legislature has taken great pains to avoid special sessions. We have stuck to the notion that what cannot be done in our regular session can usually wait until the next January or February.

In my ten years here, this is only the second special session. This is in contrast to other states where special sessions are a regular course of business.

Although this special session is scheduled to be six days, the hype and interest in this session has been amazing, broad and sometimes unbelievable. Editorials, letters to the editor and press commentary provides us enough information to form almost any opinion we desire.

However, we are convinced that the physicians and health care providers are rightfully concerned over their ability to provide health care for Wyoming citizens. We are also convinced that more and more Wyoming citizens are unable to afford health care. This situation did not occur over night. It took years to develop. Likewise, the solution will not be found in a week. This is only the beginning. Future legislatures will be addressing this issue for years to come.

Concerning what we can do in a week, I thank the members of the Labor, Health and Social Services, Judiciary and Appropriations committees. They have provided to us a preliminary set of bills for consideration. I personally thank you and ask the rest of us to join me in a big thank you.

This week we will discuss constitutional amendments that will involve very emotional issues. As House members, we will do so with dignity and respect for those who have different views. I expect, and let me repeat, I expect the lobbyists and public who are involved in this issue to do the same. Inflammatory statements about the motives and beliefs of others will not further the cause of any side, but will only make it more difficult to find a reasonable solution.

I believe that part of that solution is the placement on the general ballot a constitutional amendment concerning noneconomic damages. The details are left for our deliberation and discussion.

The joint committees recommended to not pursue a general and at large subsidy to assist in paying for malpractice insurance premiums. I applaud and support that decision. If we start down that road, we must also be prepared and financially able to address the insurance needs of the thousands of the uninsured of Wyoming.

In lieu of such a subsidy, I recommend that we take a careful look at the current reimbursement rate of Medicaid. If there are specific areas that an increase could provide better care we should examine those on a case by case basis. For the future, this should include higher reimbursements for practices such as cancer screenings and other screenings that have proven to save lives and money. In most cases, the earlier the treatment, the greater chance of full recovery and at less cost.

Procedurally, this is different than either a general or budget session. Due to our time constraints, we are recommending the adoption of rules that will permit minor bills that will proceed through both houses, on a somewhat simultaneous path. Thus, I encourage full debate on the issues and urge members to get your amendments drafted as soon as practicable.

In closing, we will begin to address the health care crisis in Wyoming. We will do so in a respectful and considerate manner. I pledge to work with all you and in particular the minority leader to see that all views are debated and treated fairly. We have much to do, it is likely to be hot in these chambers, so lets roll up our sleeves and get to work.

OPENING REMARKS MINORITY FLOOR LEADER WAYNE REESE The Wyoming State Legislature has called itself into session to address the matter of medical malpractice insurance. This week we will try to find solutions to some very real, and very complex problems. But, these problems are not unique to Wyoming. Other states are dealing with them as well. If we study those other state's solutions, see which solutions really work, and understand why they work I think we will be able to craft a package of legislation that is balanced, and works for all of the stakeholders of this very serious and complex issue. I am not sure that we have 13 adequately explored all of the possibilities. My fear is that we will rush to find solution, and later regret some of our votes.

I believe the purpose of this Legislature is to examine problems that confront Wyoming, and try to find balanced solutions that are fair and acceptable to all of the people of the state. I believe that in order to find a balanced and fair solution to a problem, you first have to understand the problem. You have to understand that there is more than one side to an issue. If you are going to find that balance, balance that we need in our laws, you have to understand the concerns of the people that are on each side of that issue.

We have 14 bills to consider. Some of them are fairly simple, and straight forward. Some of them will create major changes, with consequences that we cannot foresee. Some of them set in motion a series of events that could change our State Constitution.

This is a Special Session. The time frame is short, the action will be quick, and the results will affect the lives of the people of Wyoming for a very long time.

You all understand the process of considering a bill during a normal session. A bill goes to one house, it is considered by a committee, where public testimony is taken, the bill is discussed, and amended. Then it goes to the floor, where it is debated for 3 days, the public commentary continues, and a final vote is taken. If it passes, the public can continue to analyze the bill, look for weak spots, and prepare to comment again, when the bill reaches the other house of the Legislature. When the bill finally reaches the other house, it goes through the process again. It gets assigned, discussed, cussed, amended, and voted on, and that is just in committee. Then the bill goes to the floor, where it all happens again. For 3 more days, we have the opportunity to discuss, cuss, debate, deny, denote, point out, iterate, reiterate, amend, and generally put the thing through the wringer. And all that time, the public can watch, and comment. After all of that, it goes to a conference committee, where it gets tweaked one more time. This is a process that generally takes weeks, not days.

During this Special Session, the process will be greatly condensed. There are no committee hearings, there is no dead time for a bill while waiting to appear on general file, and there is no second house to fix problems discovered after the bill leaves the first House. We have minor bills, the debate will be brisk, and the final vote will be taken on these bills in 4 days.

When you make your votes on bills and amendments this week, I ask you to carefully consider what you are doing. I ask you to carefully consider your vote. I ask you to understand that you will be dramatically affecting, not just health care providers, but the lives of Wyoming families as well. Ultimately, these bills will affect the victims of medical mistakes, and their families.

It is my belief that bad laws, are created in haste, with the best of intentions. Please consider your votes carefully. If you really believe that a bill is part of a fair and balanced solution to a very complicated problem, then vote aye. If you are not sure that a bill will really help improve the situation, then vote no.

We will be back in a General Session in 6 months. At that time we will continue to debate solutions to this very complex, national problem. We will have more information. We will have better information. We will have another package of bills that addresses: health care, errors that are made, and solutions.

But medical error is not the only topic we should be discussing. It is just a part of a much bigger problem. Our friends, neighbors, and employers have been dealing with a medical crisis for a long time. Many can't afford medical insurance, many can't afford medical care, and many of them are children. That is a medical crisis we should also be discussing today.

I hope we take up that crisis, 6 months from now.

Speaker Parady thanked Representative Luthi and Representative Reese for their opening remarks. We look forward to a very productive session for the benefit of all Wyoming citizens.

GOVERNOR'S SPECIAL SESSION CLOSING REMARKS TO THE WYOMING HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Good morning. … I'll keep my remarks short so that you can head for home. First of all, I extend greetings from my wife, who is in Seattle at a family gathering, and I will be joining her later today.

I want to comment on two things. The first is, I want to commend you for the substance of the work that's been done. I know it has been a difficult and painful process from time to time, and much will be said about the content of the substance over the next months. But I think the remarkable thing is that it's done and that, in fact, we have placed before the voters the opportunity to provide us with direction.

We have undertaken studies which will continue to build a foundation to get things done in the future. Healthcare is going to be with us a long time. I think the information will turn out to be important, and I also believe that the steps taken to direct financial resources to try to make sure that healthcare remains available are significant steps.

So the substance will be commented on in detail over time, but the thing for which I am most thankful is that we have begun to move on this issue.

And, secondly, I want to commend you for the statement that this session has made on behalf of democracy: that the system can, in fact, work. There's sort of rampant cynicism, whether it's at the national level or – well, not so much in Wyoming, particularly in other states, that the whole system is broke, nobody ever decides anything.

I think, in this session, the remarkable accomplishment isn't so much the legislation that arrived, but the process by which you demonstrated, on behalf of yourselves and the citizens of the state, that we can actually make progress.

We'll argue over time about whether the progress was a big leap or a little, and we may even argue about whether it was in the right direction, but the statement can be made that we have begun to move, and we have begun to move on an issue that is of vital importance to this country and to this state. And I thank you for that.

You know, the contribution that people make through public service is measured not just by the hours that they spend, but by the lives that they've touched.

I close with a quote that comes from Governor Frank Barrett in the 1950s, and I believe this quote is appropriate because, in fact, this session has risen to the high standard which he set.

Governor Barrett observed: "Let us endeavor to render good and faithful service to the people of this state. Let us resolve that all those who work within these walls shall always remember that they are servants of the people. Let us be fair and just in all things, kind and considerate to all, and let us never forget that public office is a public trust. And, finally, let your charge and mine be to do everything within our power to bring about the betterment of our people and the enrichment of our state."

I bid you adieu. I trust that your trip will be safe on the way home and, with the session out of the way, we can finally enjoy the last of the summer.

Thank you very much.

Speaker Parady thanked Governor Freudenthal for his closing remarks on behalf of the members of the House of Representatives. Representative Wayne Johnson and Representative Diercks escorted his Excellency, the Governor from the House Chamber.

Speaker Parady stated that the next order of business be Reading and Approval of the Journal.

Representatives Bagby and Olsen reported that the Journal Committee read the Journal of July 17, 2004, and recommended that it be approved. The report was adopted without objection.

ADJOURNMENT Representative Luthi moved the following:

1. That the House of Representatives, 57th Wyoming State Legislature, be adjourned from the Special Session until a date and time which are determined jointly by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and by the President of the Senate for the purpose of calling the House and Senate back into session. 35

2. That if no such time is so established before December 31, 2004, the House of Representatives, 57th Wyoming State Legislature, Special Session, is adjourned sine die effective at 12:00 o'clock noon on that date and the Legislative General Session, 58th Wyoming Legislature, convene on the 11th day of January, 2005, at the hour of twelve o'clock noon.

3. That the House of Representatives specifically concurs in any identical motion adopted by the Senate.

4. That if the Senate fails to concur in the action of the House of Representatives under paragraphs 1 through 3 of this motion by adopting an identical motion applicable to the Senate, the House of Representatives of the 57th Wyoming State Legislature, Special Session, is adjourned sine die.

Speaker Parady called for the vote and the motion passed the House.

FIRST DAY GENERAL SESSION OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FIFTY-EIGHTH STATE LEGISLATURE JANUARY 11, 2005

House Chamber

The Honorable Patricia O'Brien Arp, Deputy Secretary of State, escorted by Representatives Powers and Harshman.

The Honorable Joe Meyer, Secretary of State escorted by Representatives Gilmore and Olsen.

Deputy Secretary of State Patricia O'Brien Arp called the roll of the elected House Members.

OPENING ADDRESS BY SECRETARY OF STATE JOE MEYER Welcome back to returning legislators and congratulations to those members elected for the first time. I would especially note the presence of your chief clerk, Jerry Fox. Jerry, Ralph Thomas and I were the first employees at the Legislative Service Office in 1971. Jerry was the LSO expert in municipal, retirement and election laws. Jerry, now that you are moving to Georgia, the State of Wyoming is going to miss your institutional memory and your past work on behalf of the State. Wyoming has been fortunate to have had your services. Mary and I are honored to be among your many friends.

This is the fourth time I have appeared before you to convene the House of Representatives. I have referenced in the past our common ties and how close the margin of victory or defeat can be. For example, I am sure that the incoming Speaker of the House, Representative Luthi, remembers his first election, which was a tie, and which was broken with a national audience in attendance when the State Canvassing Board, with me in attendance as Attorney General, cast lots to decide who won the seat. Fortunately Randall won the draw. Through the passage of time he probably now remembers it as a landslide victory which demonstrated the wisdom of his constituency, whose wisdom continues to this day. Congratulations incoming Speaker Luthi.

This is the day of your birth as a member of the Fifty Eighth Legislature. Your life span is two years serving as a member of a branch of state government, three months as a collective participant and 21 months in preparing for those three months through interim studies. You collectively will die, sine die, in January 2007. During your two years of service, more people will laugh at your jokes, good or bad, smile at you more often and complement you on your wisdom. But if you don't vote the right way, their way, they might get down right cranky. Get used to it. It goes with the territory.

During the course of my life, I have participated in 40 legislative sessions and worked with or for 18 legislatures. Some issues and observations about the process never die. Most of the time they don't even fade away. Both Governors Hathaway and Herschler in their late years in office commented to the legislature on the negative effect that excessive political partisanship had on their ability to work with the Wyoming Legislature in addressing and solving the many very complex and difficult issues Wyoming faced. Joint Executive-Legislative efforts to solve complex issues were common place for several decades after the LSO was created. I hope they become so again.

37 The Legislative Service Office was created by legislative leaders of both parties with the active support of Governor Hathaway. It was intended to be nonpartisan in nature with a focus on allowing every Wyoming legislator to acquire knowledge and develop solutions to Wyoming problems. For several decades there was strong bipartisan effort in cooperation with the Executive Branch to revise titles of the Wyoming Statutes to continually update the statutes to address current issues. And during the course of revisions, committee members could learn about the subject matter of their committees from the ground floor up and contribute to the collective wisdom of this body. That original focus seems to have died down lately with a result that several titles of Wyoming Statutes have become creaky and not in sync with current circumstances. I hope you resolve to start that effort again in your upcoming interim studies. You will be surprised at what you will find.

Several issues you will be faced with have recycled through the years. Stan Hathaway asked past legislatures for 20 more highway patrolmen to diminish the carnage occurring on Wyoming highways, for a new state office building since people were hanging from the rafters in the state capitol building and to authorize a new addition to the Coe Library at the University of Wyoming. There are many other such recycled issues. For example, locations of a new prison. I hope you resolve to take care of these ongoing issues during the next two years.

Finally, I worked for the Select Education Committee in 1980-1982 to address and solve problems when it held the system unconstitutional in 1980. As Wyoming Attorney General, I argued the 1994 lawsuit seeking to defend those legislative actions. The Wyoming Supreme Court once again held the Wyoming educational system unconstitutional this time based on its view of lack of program equity among Wyoming school districts. That lawsuit continues unabated for ten years, a fate which has befallen many other states.

Given the current reality of ten years of Judicial supervision of school operations and maintenance in Wyoming, perhaps it is time to consider placing a constitutional resolution before the citizens of Wyoming clarifying that the Judicial Branch was meant to "provide for the establishment and maintenance of a complete and uniform system of public instruction" rather than the Wyoming Legislature. Just a thought.

I cherish this institution, the Wyoming Legislature, and the public service offered by each of you. There really is a collective wisdom that arises from your deliberations no matter how often you find yourself up to your hips in alligators. My very best wishes for a successful and fruitful session.

ELECTION OF TEMPORARY SPEAKER Representative Jones nominated Representative Anderson for Temporary Speaker. The motion carried on a voice vote. Representatives Watt and Berger escorted Representative Anderson to the chair.

Representative Luthi nominated Jerry Fox as Temporary Chief Clerk. The motion carried by voice vote.

CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT Representative Anderson appointed Representative Walsh to serve as chairman of a credentials committee consisting of Representatives Semlek, Latta, Slater and Gilmore.

Representative Simpson seconded the nomination of Representative Luthi and moved that his election be made unanimous dispensing with the roll call.

The motion carried. Representative Randall Luthi was escorted to the rostrum by Representatives McOmie and Hageman. Chief Justice Golden administered the oath of office to Representative Luthi.

ADDRESS BY THE SPEAKER Mr. Temporary Speaker, the Honorable Secretary of State, Deputy Secretary of State, Justice Golden, Guests and family of members of the 58th Legislature and to the members of the 58th Legislature.

First, thank you for the honor you have given me. Thank you family and friends. Without the cows being fed, the law firm being run, the donations of the time and money, and just your support, I would not be here today. I received a letter yesterday from a long time friend who noted the coincidence between my becoming Speaker and the major winter storms that are lined up to pass through Wyoming. Being the astute politician, I am glad to accept credit for ending the drought.

Joe Meyer, thank you for your sound advice over the years and your willingness to share your vast institutional knowledge with us. Max Maxfield, our State Auditor, thank you for the wise management of our books and your outstanding contribution to our state.

Before we enter the fray, let's recognize our veterans and pay tribute to the current members of the armed services. Thank you for what you have done. Our thoughts and prayers are with those currently in the armed services and their families. May God bless and protect you.

Speaking of the fray, we at some time are going to wrangle with each other over one issue or another. However, it will not become personal and I pledge fairness to each of you. As the majority party, we Republicans will take the credit and the blame for what we do. But, I look forward to working with the Minority Floor Leader, members of the democratic party and the Governor. Although the press dreads this prediction, we will be united more than we will be divided.

We start this legislative session faced with a great opportunity and challenge. The anticipated projected revenue spike has the potential to provide us with the financial means to accomplish what was unthinkable just a few years ago.

However it also opens the door for us to saddle a future legislature and citizens of Wyoming with additional tax burdens. The choice is ours.

Now is the time to consider opportunities and challenges. We have always been a state of a small, but determined population. The musical numbers you have heard from the Cheyenne Community Chorus reminds us that Wyoming people, although very diverse, have lived, loved and worked together to make Wyoming, Wyoming.

Diversity is truly our strength. Throughout our history, saints and sinners have worked side by side. Today we are better for their effort.

Our cultures are as varied as the plains of Cheyenne; the vastness of the Red Desert, the beauty of the Big Horns, the grandeur of the Absarokas and Tetons and the open sage, which protects our great mineral wealth. Together, we make up the whole of Wyoming that is far greater than the sum of its parts.

Wyoming history is full of opportunity and disaster for those who choose to make it their home. I'll share with you a few examples.

Thomas Molesworth stated he would "rather die broke than work for someone else". He moved his family to Cody from Montana and started a furniture store. His first furniture factory burned down the night before opening, but through his efforts and those of the community of Cody, he succeeded. Before he died, his furnishings made it into many prominent homes, including President Eisenhower's den.

Ella Watson was born in Canada. Lived for a while in Kansas and Nebraska, but eventually moved to Wyoming, where she and her paramour established a very prosperous cattle operation. Some say a bit too prosperous, for Ella Watson, better known as Cattle Kate, became the only woman hung in the Wyoming Territory for cattle rustling. 41

Grace Raymond Hebard, although born in Iowa, became a Wyoming icon. She was the first woman attorney admitted to the Wyoming Bar; first woman to win the state golf championship; first woman admitted to practice before the Wyoming Supreme Court; the first librarian for the University of Wyoming Library and served many years on the Board of Trustees for the University of Wyoming. It was also rumored that she had been offered the position of President of the University of Wyoming, but she turned it down, "for good, sound, financial reasons". (I believe the salary has now been increased) however, she was also known as "overbearing, galling and over influential". Be that as it may, she was a leader in education, history and in suffrage.

John A. Feick came to Wyoming to help build the Capitol we are in today. Upon his arrival from Ohio, he wrote the following to his wife: "Dearest wife! I just arrived at Cheyenne right side up and handled with care………it was a long ride. I thought I went around the world five times, can not tell you anything about Cheyenne, yet, just came in and it is very dark." (as new legislators, we have had similar trips.)

In the daylight, he also found Cheyenne to be somewhat different from his home in Ohio. "This morning when I went to breakfast I saw a chinaman laying in the street with his head cut off and it looked terrible…You don't see as many drunkards in Cheyenne as you do in Sandusky and the town is kept very orderly"

The initial Capitol was completed in 1887, at a cost of $131,275.13. Times have changed.

William Jefferson Hardin was born in Kentucky but was elected as the first African American to the Wyoming Legislature as a representative in 1879. Politics was and continues to be a tough business and despite an admirable record, he was barely re-elected to the Seventh Legislature by a mere 58 votes. However, he fared better than his colleagues. He was the only representative in the Sixth Legislature to serve in the Seventh.

However, few Wyomingites have attained the notoriety that was achieved by Mary Ada Fisher Law, better know as Lusk's Lusty Lady. Dell Burke born in Ohio, Mary Ada Fisher was educated at St. Bernards Academy in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Evidently not all of the education supplied by Mother Superior Stanislaus Rafter and the sisters took, for Mary and her friends spent much of their free time on the convent fence calling to boys at the nearby college.

Not unlike many women of pioneer times, Dell's choices of a career without a husband were somewhat limited. She did try marriage, by claiming to be 18, when she was actually 17, but that marriage didn't work out. Without specific training, Mary was faced with joining a religious order or "the other route". (She chose the other) Dell eventually settle in Casper, until prohibition, and the town council closed down the sand bar district. She then moved to Lusk, to take advantage of the Lance Creek oil boom and established the Yellow Hotel.

During her life in Lusk, Dell contributed to the local economy and even loaned the town enough money to replace the badly needed 200 kilowatt engine and generator to supply water and power. She provided scholarships for education and in respect for church goers, closed the hotel on Sundays.

Now, Wyoming was also settled by church goers. The frontier was ripe picking for many a preacher. All our communities boast of a variety of churches and denominations. Our plains are dotted with graves of those that died in their pursuit of their right to practice their chosen religion.

Our history, and culture today, shows that church goers and sinners, and all those in between, are our greatest asset. People from all walks of life have flocked to Wyoming, because of opportunity, not a hand out. It is our challenge to provide that opportunity for our residents and those who would like to be.

In the next two years, we can and must provide that opportunity. Our first step in that challenge is to protect our taxpayers and our future. The Permanent Mineral Trust Fund is the only sure, and long lasting hedge against a tax increase. Any additional monies we deposit will provide interest income when the oil, gas and coal prices go down. To not take advantage of this time of plenty would be akin to the proverbial grasshopper who lived for today and perished in the winter. Trust me, our winter will come. The 58th Legislature will either be praised for saving for our future or condemned for squandering our present. The choice is ours.

Additional savings. There are innovative proposals suggested by you for rainy day accounts. With careful spending, we can do both. Our treasurer, Cynthia Lummis, has done a fantastic job in managing our funds. I look forward to providing her a greater opportunity to do more.

42 Education. The youth of Wyoming have endured a decade of wrangling over school finance litigation. However, due to past legislative efforts, it appears the end is in sight. The Supreme Court has upheld the vast majority of the changes we have made to K-12 education financing. I am optimistic that they will approve the refinements we have made the last three years. The legislature and the education community can continue in our mutual goal of preparing our youth to lead the world. This session provides us the opportunity to do so. So while we kick off recalibration let's also look at superintendent Blankenship's performance, teacher advancement and acknowledgement. This is an investment with great return.

While K-12 gets the most attention, we also have an opportunity to concentrate on higher education. Fewer Wyoming high school students are choosing to go on to either a community college or university. One of the main reasons is cost. I urge this legislature to examine and evaluate need based scholarships as part of the education package.

In addition, I ask for your support to invest in establishing the framework for a University of Wyoming premier graduate school of business that will evolve into a national center of Business Education and Entrepreneurship with an emphasis on natural resources. The opportunity is ripe to leverage our assets – the top business executives in the world are in our state. Let's use that talent to our advantage and provide an opportunity to educate our youth and those from around the world. This is a time when it is appropriate for us to either go big or go home.

Jobs/Economy. Job growth only happens at the local level. I support continued funding of the business ready communities the legislature initiated last session. However, this is a area that comes close to a hand out, not an opportunity. I recommend our continued oversight over the grants and loans and continued progress reports on what has been achieved.

Property Taxes. We continue to promote residential property taxes based upon what others are willing to pay for property. Longtime Wyoming residents are being forced to move from their homes. I urge you to open the door to establishing a better, more fair method of determining residential property taxes

Brucellosis. Talk about a challenge and opportunity. What other subject combines and contrasts two of our greatest passions – cattle and wildlife. This disease attempts to put us in the untenable situation where we eradicate one to save the other. That is an unacceptable solution. We must continue to fund testing and seek cooperation between sportsmen and cattlemen.

Energy development. Wyoming is the energy capitol of the country. We must continue to find methods to develop, transport and export this natural resource not only as raw material, but also as electricity. And it must not be done at the cost of our natural beauty, wildlife or environment.

Healthcare. No other issue affects more of our constituents, from the physicians providing care to those who seek care. The cost of insurance, whether malpractice or health insurance continues to rise. We feel the frustration. We care about the tens of thousands who are uninsured. Of all these issues I have mentioned today, this one poses the greatest challenge. I wish I could rattle off a solution, but I can't. So I challenge us to do what we can, explore out of the box solutions, and recognize that the likely answer will likely be the combination of many small efforts, rather than one gigantic project.

In closing I'd like to quote from Western Odyssey, written by Rob Quist. While penned for the west in general, it seems particularly applicable to Wyoming.

"This western country, she's been called a lady, when we sing her praise If you fail to see the logic, let me count the ways Her cirrus hair is red and gold at evenings sunset's light And I've always thought her mountains looked especially good in white Her wild and natural beauty, it will take away your breath, Oh, but take her for granted, it could easily be your death. She's slow to grant her favors to come lately, new faces To longtime suitors, she reveals her hidden, secret places And yes, there are those who come with schemes and ways to use her, To sell her body like a harlot, to cheapen and abuse her If you've sworn your love for her, revere her, respect her If you are ones with honor, you must cherish and protect her And should we fail in this task, we'll lose this living treasure Oh, but should we win this lady that we love she will live forever." 43

The challenge is great, the opportunities are greater.

Now, let's Get "ER" done.

ELECTION OF MAJORITY FLOOR LEADER Representative Anderson nominated Representative Roy Cohee for Majority Floor Leader for the Fifty-Eighth Legislature. Representative Petersen seconded the nomination of Representative Cohee and moved that his election be made unanimous dispensing with the roll call.

The motion Carried. Mr. Speaker appointed Representatives Brechtel and Osborn to escort Representative Cohee to the rostrum. Chief Justice Golden administered the oath of office.

REMARKS BY MAJORITY FLOOR LEADER Mr. Secretary of State, Madam Deputy Secretary of State, Justice Golden, Mr. Speaker, fellow members and staff of the 58th Legislature, citizens and guests.

To say to you that I am honored to have been chosen to serve you in the capacity of Majority Floor Leader is an understatement. I truly believe that it is my position and my style to be of service to each and every one of you, as you and the public deserve nothing less.

Before each session, I have asked myself, "why am I here, at this place and time?" This session is no different, I ask myself, "why am I here, in this place and at this time?" Why are all of us here, in this place, at this time?

In twenty years, or thirty or forty or more, will the people of Wyoming know or remember any particular individual in this room, other than to see your picture in one of the many that graced these halls, They probably will not.

We do, however, have an incredible opportunity to collectively do some great things for Wyoming's citizens, current and those not yet born. It is my hope that those people in the future will know that we, as a group, did everything we could to simply do the right things on their behalf.

The issues are numerous, interesting and challenging, with solutions to all of them found within the thoughts, words and minds of the people in this old but wonderful building.

I have all faith that we, together, can determine how best to manage such an enormous bounty provided by nature, harvested by those willing to take the risks, and necessary to the residents of our state and others, to power their homes, fuel their vehicles and drive their economies.

I believe that we, together, can help our cities and towns, our counties and the people that reside within them to enjoy simple things of life, such as adequate water, safety forces, decent streets and roads, and nice looking and functional communities

Keeping our children in school, encouraging them to consider higher education and to provide the needed tools and equipment to succeed their entire lives should command a high priority on our list of issues. You know the adage, if you think education is expensive, gauge the costs of ignorance.

Alcohol and drug abuse issues, in particular the manufacture, use and affects of methamphetamines are issues that cannot be avoided or delayed. It has crept into our communities and threatens to shred the moral fiber of every family in this state. It is estimated in my home county, that 80% of all crimes committed are drug related. We can select the route of treatment, or we can continue to build prisons. Providing the health care system with an apolitical medical malpractice review panel with real teeth deserves our attention. The residents of this state have asked for it, and they should have it. Please consider binding arbitration, possibly some thoughts towards limited liability options between doctors and their patients.

We have heard, and will hear much more about what to do with a serious amount of wealth bestowed on our state. Should some of it be saved for future generations? It has always been, and will continue to be my opinion that the lion's share of this wealth truly belongs to the people that will inhabit Wyoming long after the mineral wealth is gone. That is my statement for additional and substantial contributions to the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund, which will one day prove to be Wyoming's second most valuable asset, after her people.

Do we have the right to maintain our current concerns and issues with wealth that will someday disappear? We must act responsibly as we determine what is continuing income and what is one time or temporary streams of revenue.

45 Finally, I ask myself once more, "why am I here, in this place and at this time?" Why are all of us gathered here, in this place and at this time? If you will look around you, in the galleries above you, at your families and friends, consider those here and back in your home towns, I trust that you will find the answer, as I have.

Mr. Speaker I come to the end, I am confident that we, the people elected to represent the needs of those families, friends and neighbors, will meet every challenge with the grace and dignity that the people of Wyoming deserve.

ELECTION OF SPEAKER PRO TEM Representative Petersen nominated Representative Colin Simpson as Speaker Pro Tem for the Fifty-Eighth Legislature. Representative Childers seconded the nomination and moved that his election be made unanimous dispensing with the roll call.

The motion Carried. The Speaker appointed Representatives Barnard and Childers to escort Representative Simpson to the rostrum. Chief Justice Golden administered the oath of office.

REMARKS BY SPEKAER PRO TEM It is with very high regard for Mr. Speaker, Mr. Majority Floor Leader, Mr. Majority Whip, Mr. Minority Leader, Mr. Minority Whip and Mr. Minority Caucus Leader and all the Members of the House of Representatives of the 58th Wyoming Legislature that I stand before you today as Speaker Pro Tem. I am very excited about this session and the great things that we, as a citizen legislature, can do for our fellow CITIZENS of Wyoming.

We as elected legislators have a great responsibility to all people of this state and we must, and do, take this responsibility seriously. We serve a responsive and responsible institution. Those legislators who have served before us have admirably shown the way to responsible state government. We shall honor the past in responsibly creating a new future. You may notice that responsible leadership and service is a theme of this speech!

In settling into my new duties as Speaker Pro Tem I have looked for guidance in many areas. One area was the office formerly occupied by Representative Rodney "Pete" Anderson. Amidst the old files and books I found the most profound guidance on a small sheet of paper in the desk calendar. It simply read . . . "Roast Beef"!

I know I will be able to use this pearl of wisdom somehow, someway in my duties . . . I just haven't figured out how.

Wyoming is truly the land of great natural wealth and individual independence and opportunity. As Speaker Pro Tem I will strive to help frame the important issues and decisions before us that will lead to a greater quality of life and greater opportunity for Wyoming citizens.

Money will certainly help us create a greater quality of life and greater opportunities, if we act responsibly with the money we have!

Wyoming continues to face great economic and social challenges, despite our vast mineral wealth. We must invest in our children and our grandchildren who are the future of Wyoming and create economic opportunity to keep them home and bring them home to stay!

We have amazing opportunities to:

• Ensure the continuing health of our minerals industry • Maintain low taxes • Demand responsible long term and intermediate savings • Diversify our economy and revenue flows • Assist the creation of quality, high paying, family wage jobs • Maintain and improve education and teacher quality • Face down the menace of methamphetamine • Ensure access to affordable medical and mental health care • Protect our Wildlife and Natural Resources • Help those who can least help themselves

Now the hard work of legislating begins. We are ready, willing and ABLE. Have faith in yourselves and our future! Act responsibly and maintain a vision for a Wonderful Wyoming! Thank you!

46 The chair recognized Representative Reese and invited him to address the body. Representatives Hastert and Diercks escorted the Minority Floor Leader to the podium.

REMARKS BY THE MINORITY FLOOR LEADER When I sat down to consider what I wanted to say today, I started wondering why we are here. Why are we in session? For what reason do we gather together in Cheyenne once a year, and spend every minute of our lives, from the time we get up in the morning, until we go to bed at night, thinking about the issues that are before us.

The very simple answer to that question is; PEOPLE We are here because we are trying to make Wyoming a better place for people to live.

We are here because of our friends, our families, our neighbors, and all of the other people that live in Wyoming. We are here for the people that go to work every day and try to make a better life for themselves and their families.

We are here because of people. We are here for people, and we are here to represent people.

I have had several of these people ask me what I thought the hot topic was going to be this year. My answer has always been the same.

ITS MONEY

If you take all of the issues we have before us this year, money will be the common thread that sews many of them together. The bottom line is always money, "how much is this going to cost?"

Fortunately, we have some money this year. In fact, we have more money than we have ever had. And, I think this is more than just a short term spike in revenues.

The worldwide demand for natural resources and energy is growing every year. Fortunately, Wyoming has some very large reserves of coal, coal bed methane, and natural gas, and because of our increased capacity for transporting that energy out of state, we are no longer dealing with a buyers market. For several years to come, we will be selling more of these energy resources, and at higher prices, than we have ever sold before. That brings us to the question, "What are we going to do with this money?"

During this session, and over the next few years, we are going to have the opportunity to make some investments in the state of Wyoming. Investments that will pay big dividends now and well into the future. These are investments in people. These are investments in our communities, in education, and health care. These are investments in water resources, and wildlife habitat.

If we continue to put money into the Permanent Mineral Trust Fund, instead of making these investments, and tell ourselves that it is for our children. If we continue to do things as we have always done them, instead of trying to create more attractive and livable communities, and increase economic activity. Then it won't matter, because our children will have left for other states that are making these investment.

And, we should probably do some long range planning. We should ask ourselves where we want to be in 15 years or 20 years, or 30 years. We should be looking ahead and asking ourselves what we want this state to be like in 2020, and years into the future.

We need to plan for a changing world and emergencies that we know will come. To that end, we should probably set aside some money in a rainy day account that we can get to when we really need it.

In short, we have a unique opportunity before us.

It's the opportunity to make some investments in Wyoming, that will pay dividends to the people of Wyoming now, and decades into the future.

These are not investments in the traditional sense. Rather, they are investments in our communities, investments in our educational institutions, investments in healthcare, investments in water, and wildlife habitat.

But most of all – they are investments in people. And that is why we are here – the people of Wyoming.

STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS GOVERNOR DAVE FREUDENTHAL CHEYENNE, WYOMING JANUARY 12, 2005 The year is 1963. Clifford P. Hansen is Wyoming's governor. The 37th Legislature has assembled to hear the governor's constitutionally prescribed message. Governor Hansen, speaking with an eloquence which I cannot match, focused on Wyoming's natural and continuing agenda. • The need for "ample jobs," economic diversification and a well-trained workforce is restated. • Governor Hansen recognizes our "breathtaking scenery," "as well as the unique and diversified recreational opportunities as one of our best sources of jobs and payroll expansion." And Game and Fish as a "a great renewable resource." • Highways are discussed and "transportation and communication" are said to "pace all progress." • Financing of local governments is characterized as "one of the most widespread and important issues" facing Wyoming. • Wyoming's water supply is cited as the resource which may most critically "affect our growth and well being." • Wyoming's continuing commitment to education K-12, community colleges and the University of Wyoming - expressing in full voice a call for funding and improvement. • In 1963, capital construction is referenced as "one of our greatest opportunities in providing for the future," dependent, of course, "on the amount of wisdom we exercise in the building of permanent improvements." • Issues surrounding the health and welfare of our citizens are introduced with a statement of enduring truth. He said, "Perhaps no single area of the state's activities involves more people, gives rise to greater emotionalism, and evokes greater controversy than the subject of welfare and health." • A tone of government restraint and fiscal responsibility permeates the text. • And, finally, the all too familiar struggle with the federal government on resource management caused Governor Hansen to say, "I believe if we fail to recognize these problems and deal with them as a state, the federal government will transgress upon what rightfully belongs to Wyoming, and impose upon us even further federal control and authority." Governor Hansen's address to the 37th Legislature reflects the basic issues of territorial and state governors throughout our history. The addresses of Governor Hathaway and Governor Herschler moved towards a greater emphasis on the balance between economic growth and the maintenance of Wyoming's environment and lifestyle. Governor Hathaway's "Quality Growth" and Governor Herschler's "Growth on Our Terms" were turning points in our history. Allowing variations for the issues of immediate urgency, the fundamentals remain the same. We gather as products of our history, of our geology and our geography and the economic realities of Wyoming. The tasks to which the hands of our citizens and the programs of our government turn are dictated by these realities. But there is one significant difference between this legislature and the Assembly of 1963. We have money. Our revenues are remarkable and our prospects, with the inevitable vagaries of the future, are generally bright. Money should not, and must not, change our commitment to solving problems and building this state. Nor should we engage in some extended identity crisis as to the direction of the state. We know who we are, and we know what we need. Ours is the remarkable opportunity to convert the hopes and dreams of past generations of our citizens and leaders from the realm of words to the realm of action. Current and prospective revenues are simply tools to build this state and to help its citizens. The amount of money available changes the rate at which we can convert values into action - it should not change our values. But action is not without risk. The safest course for all of us as public officials is simply to throw all the money in a sack. Or in the way of one servant in the Biblical parable of the talents, bury the money in the ground rather than accept any risk. The servant's business plan proved reliable but ineffective. The truth of the Biblical parable applies to the modern world. Inaction may be safe, but it builds nothing. We have the roadmap of issues outlined by generations of Wyoming citizens and leaders. We have an unparalleled access to resources - to address these issues. We must not allow a lack of confidence in ourselves or in our citizens to defeat this opportunity.

53 In the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, "The only limit to the realization of tomorrow is our doubts about today." Let us demolish those doubts, ignore the politics of partisanship and credit, and get about the work our kids and grandkids deserve.

Ultimate passage of legislation rests with this body and not the executive branch. However, I appreciate this constitutionally authorized opportunity to offer some constructive suggestions. In the next 40 days, we should address the variety of measures designed to provide for better government operations and better services to our citizens. From bingo to graduated drivers licenses to combating child pornography, the issues await our attention. Rather than speak to each of those issues in this address, I simply commit to work with you as they move forward in the legislative process. Submission of the supplemental spending requests followed the normal course. With some exceptions, the Executive Branch and the Appropriations Committee are in general agreement on the budget. Notable areas of disagreement were the rejection by the committee of proposed investments in education compensation, the education innovation fund and highway construction. I remain hopeful that this body will re-address these areas of need. I understand, without necessarily agreeing with, the committee's position on the education funding, given our shared endorsement of the added insurance and external cost adjustment dollars I do not understand rejection of additional funding for state highway construction by both the Appropriations Committee and the sponsors of the legislation supporting more funding for the towns and counties. Surely the historical commitment of this state to our transportation system merits a share of the added available revenues. The basic agreement seems to be on a budget which concentrates on capital construction, economic development, community building and attempts to limit the increases in ongoing operating costs of government. We should remain wedded to these principles, not only in the budget but in the variety of spending measures attached to substantive legislative proposals. I express some reservations about the long-term operating cost implications of the variety of human service related proposals under discussion by this body and the interest groups. It may be more appropriate to adopt the approach taken by Secretary of State Meyer in dedicating a block of revenue to support the Help America Vote Act, instead of relying upon the dedication of future revenues. A third set of proposals before this body improve, expand and implement strategies to build Wyoming. In a sense, we are fine-tuning a business plan which builds on Wyoming's strengths and its shared values. Wyoming's economic strength lies in two items sought after by the people of this nation. First, is our commodity production, including minerals and agriculture, which constitutes our most significant economic engine. Second, is the natural beauty, wildlife and open spaces which have been the mainstay of the travel and recreation industry for many years. And in the more recent decade, for many of the businesses and people moving to Wyoming, it's the lifestyle and the environment that made the decision an easy one. Our lifestyle, our wildlife, our land and our water remain critical to our definition of Wyoming and to our economic future. How do we strategically build on these assets to fulfill the vision of Wyoming? We supplement the constitutionally enshrined habit of regular savings with a restricted reserve savings account to protect against the uncertainties of the future. This concept appears to enjoy wide support. Simply stated, the estimated $275-$300 million per biennium destined for the Permanent Mineral Trust Fund should be supplemented with a constitutionally protected account available for expenditure only upon a two-thirds vote of the legislature. I would argue for building the balance in this account prior to adding amounts above the current budget cycle's commitment of $325 million to the Permanent Mineral Trust Fund. The Select Water Committee is advancing legislation to set aside monies dedicated to building water storage projects. Wyoming is a high plains desert state with water leaving our borders daily to quench the thirst of urban areas. No one can doubt the need to act now to protect our water. A more aggressive role for the state in the development of water projects is essential. Extended federal permitting obstacles simply wear down the patience and the resources of private project sponsors. If the state does not act, little or nothing will happen. This legislation reflects a true collaboration between the branches of government, and I commend it to you for your favorable consideration. Wildlife habitat quality and quantity are declining in Wyoming. The Interim Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources Committee has introduced a bill reviving a bold step toward protecting our wildlife heritage. Please read the bill and the proposed amendments before making a decision. Seldom have I seen a legislative proposal so defined by preconceptions rather than content. I'd like to take a minute to talk about what this plan, with its proposed amendments, is not. The Wildlife and Natural Resources Funding Act gives no money to operate the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. It does not allow the state or its agencies to buy land.

54 It specifically states that it is not intended to restrict the continued development of Wyoming's mineral resource endowment. In fact, by working on wildlife issues and endangered species issues in a strategic way, the act should help reduce conflicts with mineral development and agriculture. It also holds the promise, within the context of brucellosis, of helping to reduce the potential of disease transmission. Wildlife and wildlife habitat are longstanding issues in Wyoming. Many of us were involved in the issues more than 20 years ago. This is not a new idea but it is an important strategic step in building on Wyoming's assets. Equally important, but harder to quantify, is the intimate part wildlife habitat and open spaces play in defining who we are in Wyoming. As Governor, I have attended nine funerals for Wyoming soldiers who lost their lives fighting for a country and a State they loved. At each of these services, the eulogy, the family pictures and the sharing of experiences included the soldier's love of Wyoming's outdoors and its wildlife. One of the services included a Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation video as part of the tribute to and definition of the fallen loved one and soldier. Memorial services for Wyoming people, be they soldiers or citizens, link our lives to Wyoming's outdoor resources. If it is important enough to talk about when we have departed this earth - then our wildlife resources are important enough to act on while God grants us life. In considering Wyoming's future, we have images of our friends and family gathering together, in homes and facilities to enjoy their company and their community. These facilities were often times built with school construction funds, not just for schools but for the community. There has been an unfortunate and unintended consequence of the Supreme Court's educational opinions. The opinions limit the use of school dollars to only supporting the building and operation of facilities necessary for the delivery of the educational basket of goods. Our communities have been robbed of the historic practice of building community facilities with school construction dollars. Attractive, sustainable cities and towns must have community facilities. I support efforts to develop new funding partnerships between local governments and the state to provide community facilities. And we can do this without inviting litigation or shifting the operating expenses to the state. This proposal can make a huge difference to the towns and counties that have lost a major partner in improving and maintaining their communities. Many more issues deserve comment, but I am mindful of the time and will limit my observations to four more items. First, I support the split estates bill sponsored by the Joint Judiciary Committee and urge you to stay the moderate course charted in the original Task Force proposal. Second, I continue to support the process and the recommendation for the location of the new state correctional facility. I encourage you to treat this as a correctional issue first and foremost. If this becomes a regional political battle or an economic development battle at this late stage, we will again defeat our efforts to build a correctional facility in Wyoming. Third, access to healthcare remains a critical issue for our citizens. I support a strong medical review panel including the admissibility of the panel's findings under proper circumstances. Medical liability insurance remains a serious problem. If you have any doubt, ask any one of the several thousand patients in Casper who are about to lose their healthcare provider. While we await the outcome of the debate at the federal level, we should consider state participation in extended liability coverage for non-economic damage judgments between $350,000 and $1 million. I am not terribly fond of further state involvement in this issue, but I have not seen an alternative. We cannot simply throw up our hands in frustration, and ignore this problem.. Fourth, I support creation of an endowment for higher education, especially the efforts toward endowed chairs. At its current stage of development, I would recommend only that funds be set aside for that purpose. The release of any funds should be subject to further legislative action next year. This would allow time for a refinement of the concept, further defining the expectations and accountability needed to justify such a program and such an investment. Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Fellow Elected Officials, Members of the Judiciary, guests and citizens of Wyoming, it has been my honor to speak with you. In closing, I acknowledge my deep respect and appreciation for the dedication, the work and the efforts of those in this room. I especially appreciate the opportunity to work with the legislative committees and individual legislators in developing proposals over the last year. It has been a most cooperative experience, unmarred by partisanship or competing claims for credit. We owe our citizens no less than our continued best efforts. Ours is a most remarkable opportunity, the opportunity to direct resources to the fulfillment of Wyoming's vision. Our citizens and those who have gone before us have charted action. They will judge us harshly should we fail.

55 As in the past, I invite all of you, particularly the new members, down to my office for great conversation and occasionally bad coffee. Thank you

STATE OF THE JUDICIARY WILLIAM U. HILL, CHIEF JUSTICE JANUARY 12, 2005 Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Governor and Mrs. Freudenthal, members of the 58th Legislature, elected officials, members of the Judiciary, family, friends and citizens of our great State. Once again it is my honor and privilege to speak to you on behalf of the dedicated men and women of the Wyoming Judiciary.

I want to offer congratulations to Speaker Luthi and to President Larson upon their well-deserved elevation to the highest posts of leadership in the Wyoming Legislature, and to thank them for their invitation to address you. I would also like to congratulate all the members of the Legislature, who are either beginning your careers, starting over in a different chamber, or continuing your adventure in public service.

As always, I also would like to thank the Legislature on behalf of the Judiciary for your attention to the needs, fiscal and otherwise, of our branch of government. We are secure in the knowledge that you will address them in the reasonable and responsible manner to which we have become accustomed, and we extend to you our best wishes for a productive session.

Governor Freudenthal, we again congratulate you and the First Lady on another year of accomplishment. Governor, the Judiciary kept you busy in 2004 appointing judges. Perhaps we will have a calmer 2005, and as always, you also have our best wishes for another successful year leading our State.

I can report to you today that Wyoming's Judiciary is strong and vital and continuing to act as a responsible, co-equal partner in our government, and I want to express my appreciation to all of those who labor in the third branch and make it work. As the State continues to grow, so too grow the demands upon our courts and they have never been busier. As a testament to that statement, you will find among the pre-filed bills a request for the creation of a new district judgeship in the Sixth Judicial District, a request that we hope you will be inclined to honor.

You will also find a proposal to fund the renovation of the Supreme Court Building. The building was constructed in 1936 and has served the State well. In the intervening years, however, it has received only basic maintenance and cosmetic repairs. If the building is to be brought up to code in terms of safety, security, and the ability to accommodate the growing demands of technology, if it is to continue serving the State well into the 21st century, it must have attention soon. The Judiciary generally endorses the proposal before you, with the caveat that the architectural, historical, and esthetic integrity of the building and the grounds upon which it sits must be preserved in any renovation, at all costs.

It is typical for a Chief Justice to use this address to inform you of court projects and initiatives that have occupied the Judiciary during the past year, and indeed, there is much that I could report. But it was the changing face of Wyoming's Judiciary and legal community that dominated 2004, and it is of those changes that I would like to speak now.

As planned, District Judge Kenneth Stebner of Rawlins retired from the bench last spring after a distinguished career. Highly respected Circuit Judge Wade Waldrip was appointed to take Judge Stebner's seat, and assumed those duties last May. Judge Jane Eakin ended a noteworthy career as a public defender and private attorney in Laramie and took up the vacated circuit judgeship in Carbon County.

Circuit Judge Robert "Yogi" Allen ended a remarkable career of over 27 years of service as a judge in Laramie County with his retirement on September 1st. Judge Roberta Coates, a popular attorney with broad experience, most recently as a member of the Board of Equalization, succeeded him this fall. Judge Don Hall of Riverton elected to retire at year's end, thus concluding over 22 years of solid service on the circuit court bench. Longtime Riverton attorney Wes Roberts was selected by the Governor to take his place only weeks ago.

Another highly respected jurist was picked for re-assignment. District Judge Jim Burke of the First Judicial District emerged from a very strong list of applicants and was tapped by Governor Freudenthal for the Wyoming Supreme Court. Justice Burke assumed his new duties just last week. Speaking on behalf of all the other Justices, Justice Burke, welcome to the Supreme Court. We look forward to our association with you with great anticipation.

Justice Burke's replacement will not be long in coming. Tomorrow the Judicial Nominating Commission will interview candidates for the open seat in Cheyenne, and the names of the three nominees the Commission selects as his possible successor will be in the Governor's hands by Friday. 56

These comings and goings have had great impact, but if I am to accurately report the State of the Judiciary, I must tell you that other departures have left the Judiciary and the legal community stunned and grief stricken.

In 2004, twelve practicing members of the Wyoming Bar passed away: Lowell H. Fitch of Torrington; Bruce Horton of Douglas; Charles D. Phillips of Evanston; Barry Williams of Casper; Vince Picard of Laramie; John Vinich of Hudson; James A. Zaring of Basin; and Ward White, Phil Whynott, Pete Mulvaney, Jim Gusea, and Tom Gorman of Cheyenne. Among these were three legislators, a candidate for our highest elected offices, a Deputy Attorney General, and some of our most admired attorneys. Of even more significance, all were valued members of their respective communities, who devoted much more than their legal skills to the places they called home and the people that they knew. The courts in which they practiced and the legal community as a whole are diminished by their passing. I can only imagine the degree to which their loss resonates in their towns and in the hearts of their families and friends.

Late last year the Judiciary and the State received another double hammer blow. Former Supreme Court Justice and Attorney General Archie McClintock and our colleague Larry Lehman slipped away in the space of one week.

Archie McClintock was from Sheridan. He had lived in Cheyenne since 1935 where he had a brilliant career as an attorney. In 1973 he was appointed to the Wyoming Supreme Court and served until he reached mandatory retirement age in 1981. Looking for a challenge, Archie, as he was called by nearly everyone who knew him, took and passed the California Bar Examination, one of the very hardest such tests in America, at the age of 71, and resumed the practice of law.

In 1982, Governor Ed Herschler asked Archie to be his Attorney General. Archie agreed and found the job that he told many people was his favorite. He served through 1986, then once again resumed his practice. He continued working until recent years.

Archie died at age 93. One might think that he had outlived his friends. That would be a mistake. Archie may have outlived many of his contemporaries but he had generations of friends. He was a fine lawyer, a distinguished justice, and an outstanding Attorney General. He was also a gentleman of the old school. He always will be remembered and missed by those he leaves behind.

That blow to the Judiciary and to the State was hugely compounded by the untimely death of Justice Larry Lehman, who lost his battle with cancer on December 10th. Justice Lehman originally came to Wyoming from Iowa to attend law school and Wyoming quickly became his home. He was graduated from the University of Wyoming College of Law in 1976 and took up practice in Evanston. During those turbulent times he also was elected Uinta County attorney and served with energy and distinction.

In 1985 he began his career on the bench, serving as County Judge in Evanston. In all, he was to have four jobs during his judicial career. He was the first person to serve on all three Wyoming State Courts – the county court, the district court, serving in Rawlins from 1988 until 1994, and then serving on the Supreme Court until his death. Each of these jobs, although similar, is quite different from the others. Justice Lehman excelled in each one.

He also excelled in the fourth position, that of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, which is, indeed, a second job layered upon the duties of a justice. In this role he helped lead the Judiciary through a period of significant change and into a new millennium. Our courts today reflect his vision, his determination, and his efforts. The Judiciary, the legal community, his family, his friends and his State will be calculating the dimensions of his loss for years to come.

Last summer, when Larry fully understood the nature of the struggle in which he found himself, he decided not to stand for retention to the Court. The day that he told me this news we were sitting in a room full of books, circulating opinions, and all the other tools of his trade. He looked around the room and said, "I have loved this. I have loved this OPPORTUNITY."

There can be no doubt that Justice Lehman made the most of his opportunity. Those of us who continue in the service of the people of Wyoming can do no less. And so, ladies and gentlemen, with the best wishes of the men and women who service in Wyoming's courts, I will leave you to it.

Thank you and God speed.

61 JR0002/ADOPTED Amend the Joint Rules of the House and Senate to create new Joint Rule 20 to read: "20. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CONTEST 20-1(a) Upon receipt of a notice of an election contest pursuant to W.S. 22-17-114, the Legislative Service Office shall forward a copy of the notice to the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to each member of the Legislature. (b) (1) The President and Speaker shall as expeditiously as possible investigate the allegations contained in the notice to determine whether there appears to be a substantial factual basis for the allegations and whether, if proven, the alleged irregularities or illegal votes complained of would likely have affected the final outcome of the contested election. In carrying out this investigation the President and Speaker may direct the Management Council or a subcommittee of the Council to meet, take evidence and testimony, and provide a recommendation to the President and Speaker on the question of calling a special session of the Legislature pursuant to Wyoming Constitution, Article 3, Section 7(a)(ii). (2) If, following investigation, the President and Speaker determine that it would be appropriate, they shall jointly issue a proclamation calling and establishing a date for the convening of a special session to resolve the election contest. (c) (1) On the date set for convening a special session under this rule, the Senate and House of Representatives shall meet in joint session in the House Chamber at which time the members will be advised of the nature of the election contest and shall be provided with any information and supporting documentation presented to the President and Speaker during the course of their preliminary investigation. The President of the Senate shall preside at the Joint Session. (2) At the conclusion of the joint session, the Senate shall withdraw and the two houses shall separately deliberate on the issues presented. (d) (1) At the direction of the presiding officer, the House or Senate may conduct its investigation sitting as the entire body or may appoint a select committee to hear the election contest and present a recommendation. If a select committee is appointed, its membership shall be apportioned as nearly as possible to reflect the percentage of the elected members of the majority and minority parties of that house. (2) The party initiating the election contest shall be provided with advance notice of each meeting, hearing or other proceeding of the House, Senate or any select committee concerning the election contest. The party may be represented by counsel and shall be afforded reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present oral argument. (3) In conducting its investigation, each house shall determine whether the allegations giving rise to the election contest are supported by substantial evidence and whether any irregularities shown were of such a nature that, if not for the irregularities or for any illegal votes counted the final results of the election which is the subject of the election contest would have been different. (4) In proceedings before the House or Senate, or their select committees, irrelevant, immaterial or unduly repetitious evidence shall be excluded and no recommendation shall be made unless supported by the type of evidence commonly relied upon by reasonably prudent men in the conduct of their serious affairs. Documentary evidence may be received in the form of copies or excerpts, if the original is not readily available. (e) (1) All proceedings of each house and any select committee concerning election contests shall be electronically recorded. (2) The Presiding officer or the chairman of the select committee shall have the power to administer oaths and to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of documents relevant to the election contest. Any testimony made at any committee hearing or before the appropriate house which purports to establish matters of fact shall be made under oath. (f) (1) Upon conclusion of its investigation, each house shall separately consider a motion to sustain or reject the election contest. No other motion shall be in order. The motion is debatable. (2) Debate on the motion to sustain or reject the election contest shall be limited as follows: (A) No member may speak more than twice on the motion; (B) No member shall occupy the floor more than five (5) minutes each time that he speaks; and (C) There shall be no extensions of time under this rule. (3) Once deliberations begin on a motion to sustain or reject the election contest, the House or Senate, as applicable, shall not adjourn until the election contest is decided. (4) If a quorum to transact business is present, a majority of the members of the appropriate house who are present may sustain or reject the election contest. (g) (1) Upon conclusion of their deliberations, the House and Senate shall again meet in Joint Session in the House Chamber at which time the presiding officer of each house shall announce the results 62 of the final vote taken by their body on the question of sustaining or rejecting the election contest. (2) An election contest shall be deemed to be sustained by the Legislature only if a motion to sustain the election contest has been adopted by both the Senate and the House of Representatives. (h) Following a determination under this rule, the presiding officers of the House and Senate shall jointly certify the decision of the Legislature to the governor and the secretary of state. (j) A determination of the election contest by the Legislature under this rule is final and conclusive and is not subject to judicial review.

The amendment passed. Mr. Speaker moved to adopt the House Rules and Joint Rules as amended.

(a) For the period commencing July 1, 2005, and ending June 30, 2006, twenty-eight million four hundred twenty thousand dollars ($28,420,000.00) is appropriated from amounts within the school foundation program account for purposes of this section. (b) Prior to reevaluation of the education resource block grant model during the 2005 interim period preceding the 2006 budget session of the legislature, as required under W.S. 21-13-309(t), additional funding is provided under subsection (c) of this section to school districts during school year 2005-2006 for purposes of increasing compensation for district professional, certified and classified staff and assisting districts with the retention and recruitment of employees. The legislature recognizes that the additional funding made available under this section is in excess of the cost-based levels established by the educational resource block grant model under W.S. 21-13-309, as adjusted for inflation under W.S. 21-13-309(o)(i). (c) Amounts received under this section shall be applied to professional, certified and classified staff compensation payable during school year 2005-2006 provided during this school year. The department of education shall determine payments authorized under this section for each district by multiplying two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) by each professional, certified and classified staff employed by that district, computed on a full-time equivalency (FTE) basis. This per FTE amount includes benefits attributable to the respective per FTE compensation adjustment. Any compensation adjustment paid under this section shall not be included in the transportation and special education adjustments to the education resource block grant model under W.S. 21-13-320 and 21-13-321 for corresponding compensation adjustments paid during school year 2005-2006 and reported for reimbursement in the subsequent school year. (d) Payments to school districts computed under subsection (c) of this section shall be made by the department of education from amounts within the foundation program account as appropriated by the legislature for purposes of this section and shall be in addition to the school year 2005-2006 foundation program amount computed for each district under W.S. 21-13-309(p). If there is an insufficient amount within the foundation program account for payments under this section, the department shall make a pro rata reduction in district payments. (e) Payments received by school districts pursuant to this section shall be expended only for compensation of district professional, certified and classified employees and shall supplement any existing district operating funds dedicated to employee compensation. The intent of the additional payment is to increase district salary levels and not to expand the numbers of district employees. Further, the intent of this additional payment is to provide salary adjustments based on existing levels of duties performed without the imposition of additional work-related demands as a condition for receipt of the adjustment. On or before October 15, 2005, each district receiving a payment under this section shall report actual or budgeted payment expenditures to the department of education, in a form and manner specified by the department, indicating salary levels adjusted under this section by employee classification and seniority level and providing certification that the district is otherwise in compliance with legislative intent specified under this subsection. Reports by school districts shall be certified in writing by the district superintendent and the chairman of the district board of trustees. For each district, expenditures of the additional payment for certified employee salary adjustments shall be reflected as part of district teacher salary levels for purposes of computing the statewide teacher salary level for school year 2005-2006. Upon receipt, the department shall immediately compile the district reports and 74 submit the compilation to members of the management council, joint education interim committee and the joint appropriations interim committee, together with the impact of payment expenditures upon comparisons of statewide salary levels with national salary levels.

The following shall apply: (x) Taxes paid on gross receipts represented by accounts found to be worthless may be credited against subsequent liability of the vendor. The vendor shall not take the credit for any bad debt until he has used the customary debt collection procedures as documented in writing by the vendor and has written off the debt; or until the debt qualifies as a bad debt under 26 U.S.C. section 166 excluding financing charges or interest, sales or use taxes charged on the purchase price, uncollectible amounts on property that remain in the possession of the seller until the full purchase price is paid, any expenses incurred in attempting to collect any debt, and repossessed property. If any such account is thereafter collected by the vendor, a tax shall be paid upon the amount collected. The amount collected shall be applied proportionally first to the taxable price of the property or service and the sales tax thereon, and then to interest, service charges and any other charges. Should the bad debt exceed the taxable sales for a subsequent period the vendor may request a refund of the tax on the bad debt from the department so long as the claim is made within three (3) years of the date of sale. A certified service provider under W.S. 39-15-401 through 39-15-408 acting on behalf of a vendor may claim the bad debt allowance for the vendor and shall remit the credit or refund received to the vendor.
