Wyoming Governor Signs 41 Bills Into Law

Wyoming Governor Matt Mead signed 41 bills into law on Monday.

Among those was a bill that removes restrictions on people with concealed firearms permits carrying guns into houses of worship. Churches and other houses of worship can still choose to bans guns by placing a sign outside their building saying guns are prohibited.

Another bill signed into law restricts the authority of cities and towns to impose laws outside of their boundaries.

Other bills signed into law made changes on state law in regard to stalking and dealt with budget requests from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. All of the bills were passed by lawmakers during the 2018 legislative session.
