Special Session

11/06/2021 -The Wyoming Legislature’s seven-day Special Session ended Wednesday evening, November 3, 2021. There were three bills against vaccine mandates introduced, which were weakened by both the House and the Senate, and two of the three were killed. The only bill which passed, HB 1002, is a resolution essentially restating what is already allowed – the state can sue the federal government for overreach and the state may allow citizens, harmed by vaccine mandates, to be included in the lawsuit. Many Representatives and Senators worked hard to put real protections against mandates into Wyoming law, but the majority of our legislature chose not to protect the individual liberty of Wyoming citizens. This is a grave disappointment made even more disheartening when we see that Iowa and Tennessee passed meaningful legislation with the support of their governors.
