The 2022 session of the Wyoming Legislature has passed the halfway point. How is it going so far?

The 2022 session of the Wyoming Legislature is set to get underway on Feb. 14 in Cheyenne.

The legislature is widely expected to reconvene again in a special session at some point this year to allocate federal COVID-19 stimulus money.

Lawmakers have already held an eight-day virtual session in Cheyenne as well as numerous committee meetings, but most of the high-profile bills lie ahead.

The 2021 Session is a General Session, which means that bills on any topic can be introduced without needing a 2/3 majority.

A fiscal note attached to the bill estimated it would save Wyoming a little over $500,000 per year, or a little over $42,000 per month if implemented.
