Please

from
psalm
100

a
joyful
noise
to
the

Worship,

gladness

into
his
presence

singing

that
the
lord
is
god
it
is
he
that
made
us
and
we
are
his
glorious
god
of
all
worlds.
A
We
come
before
you
with
renewed
sense
of
your
calling
as
representatives
representatives
of
the
people
of
wyoming,
but,
more
importantly,
representatives
of
your
kingdom.
In
your
word,
you
have
called
us
to
be
your
ambassadors,
appealing
for
grace
and
reconciliation
in
the
world
through
our
lives
and
through
our
work.
Today,
lord,
I
lift
up
these
women
and
men
representatives
doing
the
work
you
have
called
them
to
through
the
citizens
of
the
great
state
of
wyoming
almighty
god.
A
We
are
thankful
for
the
women
and
men
who
serve
in
our
country's
armed
forces
for
the
national
guard,
the
air
force,
the
army,
the
navy,
the
marines,
the
space
force
and
the
coast
guard.
We
are
thankful
for
their
bravery
and
their
willingness
to
serve.
We
pray
that
you
be
with
them
and
give
them
peace
and
confidence
in
their
service
guide
them
in
all.
They
do
and
protect
them
from
any
harm
that
they
may
face.
A
A
A
You
call
for
justice
and
equity
for
the
people
of
this
world,
and
you
have
called
us
as
your
people
to
support
the
weak
to
help
those
who
suffer
to
honor
all
people.
You
have
commanded
us
to
live
in
peace
by
loving
you
and
loving
our
neighbors.
We
recall
these
words
from
saint
francis
lord.
Make
me
an
instrument
of
thy
peace
where
there
is
hatred.
Let
me
sow
charity
where
there
is
error,
truth,
where
there
is
doubt
faith
where
there
is
sadness,
joy
and
where
there
is
darkness.
Let
me
bring
light.
A
Lord
of
all
creation,
as
you
cause
the
sun
to
rise,
bringing
light
into
darkness,
send
the
light
of
your
spirit
to
dawn
in
our
souls
and
to
dispel
any
darkness
give
us
your
grace
that
we
may
reflect
your
glory.
Let
your
love
show
through
our
deeds
and
may
your
peace
shine.
In
our
words,
I
pray
all
this
in
christ's
name,
amen.
A
A
Thank
you
reverend
appreciate
that,
and
I
I
would
note
to
the
body,
and
actually
I
had
a
colleague
mention
this
to
me
this
morning-
that
there
is
a
new
military
branch,
the
space
force,
it's
probably
the
first
time.
I've
heard
it
mentioned
on
the
house
floor
that
I
recall
so
we're
going
to
have
to
go
through
our
entire
statute
book
and
add
space
force
to
anywhere
where
there's
a
mention
of
all
the
branches
of
the
military,
so
somebody
get
working
on
that
build
draft.
B
A
C

chief
clerk.
A
All
right
members
this
morning
we're
going
to
honor
our
military
members
after
they're.
First
doing
their
present
or
doing
their
discussion
with
the
senate
and
they're
gonna
be
with
us,
so
we'll
be
a
little
bit
flexible
for
when
they
get
here
we
may
we
may
be
in
the
middle
of
some
business
and
we'll
try
to
accommodate
them
as
as
timely
as
we
can.
D
Mr
speaker,
thank
you
and,
and
so,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
you
know
tomorrow
we'll
take
up
redistricting
the
bill
and
it's
my
hope.
If
you
have
very
large
amendments,
it's
not
you
know.
Obviously,
you're
duly
elected
you'll
bring
them
whenever
you
want,
but
it
would
be
my
suggestion.
If
you
have
very
large
amendments,
you
know,
for
example,
you're
changing
the
plan
from
62
to
60
to
58
or
or
they're
big
amendments.
D
Please
bring
them
in
committee
of
the
whole,
so
we
have
two
other
readings
to
refine
edges
in
case
there's
impacts,
we're
not
aware
of
and
or
that
you're
not
aware
of
in
your
amendments,
so
obviously
there'll
probably
be
some
large
ones
on
second
reading,
but
try
to
big
bring
your
big
ones
on
committee
of
the
whole
and
that
will
be
tomorrow.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
majority
floor
leader.
That
does
not
mean
that
we
won't
potentially
have
committee
the
hole
today.
It
just
won't
be
on
the,
but
on
the
redistricting
bill.
So
we'll
see
how
our
business
proceeds
today
and
there
may
be
committee
the
hole
today
I'll
take
a
personal
privilege
right
now
and
introduce
an
organization
that's
from
across
our
state,
the
wyoming
non-profit
network
board
and
members,
or
some
of
them
here.
A
If
they'd
like
to
stand
they're
over
here
on
our
south
gallery
and
folks,
this
is
200
organ
270
organizations,
charitable
nonprofits
across
our
state,
working
to
help
our
lives
build
our
communities,
arts,
education,
civic
engagement
and
recreational
opportunities,
contribute
to
16
thousand
over
sixteen
thousand
employees
and
two
point
two
billion
dollars,
and
these
are
non-profit
sector
folks
working
to
make
wyoming
a
better
place.
So
please
welcome
to
the
wyoming
house
of
representatives.
A
We
thank
you
for
being
here.
We
hope
you
enjoy
your
time
at
the
capitol
and
thank
you
for
the
many
partnerships
that
you
have
with
our
local
governments
and
certainly
the
state
of
wyoming
and
all
your
work.
So
thank
you
and
welcome
and
and
no
miss
gross.
I
didn't
rate
the
entire
thing.
It's
way
too
much.
Sorry
members,
I
I've
got
to
make
a
couple
of
announcements.
First
of
all,
the
amy
skinner,
our
ns
ncsl
liaison,
will
be
here
tomorrow
morning
to
visit
about
ncsl
services.
A
There's
lots
of
information
there,
and
certainly,
as
you
know,
we're
pay
have
a
membership
to
that
organization.
Also,
today,
csg
west,
the
director
ruiz
and
jonathan,
are
here
they're
going
to
host
a
luncheon
and
there'll
be
an
announcement
from
representative
yen
about
that
later,
but
they
are
also
here
today.
If
you
have
questions
for
csg
west.
A
So
we're
going
to
I'm
going
to
make
two
more
announcements.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
there
is
a
in
the
lso
main
office.
There
are
two
resolutions:
one
is
for
senator
leland
christensen,
honoring
his
service
both
to
our
country
and
to
the
state
and
acknowledging
the
the
things
that
he
has
done
on
our
behalf.
A
So
if
you're
interested
in
signing
that
one,
please
it's
at
the
lso
office
and
then
there
was
also
a
gentleman
that
that
I
think
many
of
you
may
have
seen
news
articles
about
ryan
passboard
who
saved
a
mother
and
a
child
from
a
burning
building
in
a
one
of
our
communities,
truly
active,
probably
incidental
heroism,
but
quite
a
touching
story
and
and
quite
humbling
about
what
he
did.
So
there's
a
there's.
A
A
recounting
of
that
story,
if
you'd
like
to
just
add
your
name
to
that,
and
that
was
at
the
request
of
representative
baker,
and
I
think
it's
on
it's
fitting
that
we
acknowledge
sometimes
things
happen
and
people
are
in
a
place
in
a
time
and
something
it's
a
miracle,
probably
a
miracle
for
those
that
mother
and
that
mother
and
child,
so
both
of
those
both
of
those
recognitions
are
in
the
lso
main
office.
So
please
make
your
way
down
there
and
get
them
signed
in
the
next
this
week.
A

Mr

100
redistricting

A
All
right
members,
I'm
trying
to
coordinate
our
time
so
that
we're
punctual
when
the
military
folks
get
here.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
a
little
different
than
we
did
yesterday,
the
yellow
sheet
you
have
before
you
is
the
consent
list,
and
what
I'm
going
to
do
instead
of
the
majority
flirty
to
making
a
motion,
I'm
just
going
to
ask
for
anybody
that
wants
to
remove
a
bill,
and
then
we
go
through
that
removing
bill.
A
I'm
just
going
to
ask
anybody
wants
to
remove
a
bill
from
this
list,
we're
just
going
to
pull
it
off.
So
when
we
go
to
the
floor,
you'll
still
have
another
opportunity
to
pull
the
bills
off,
but
it'll
take
care
of
that.
That
part.
Most
of
that,
I
hope
procedural
stuff
and
then
those
bills
are
just
going
to
drop
right
to
the
bottom
of
the
in
introductions
and
we
will
continue
with
introductions
of
committee
bills
today.
A
First
we'll
take
up
the
bills
that
were
pulled
off
yesterday
and
then
we'll
take
up
the
bills
that
are
pulled
off
today.
I
want
to
make
it
clear
just
because
a
bill
was
pulled
off
if
they
committed
chairman
or
as
you
as
individuals
and
you're,
the
prime
sponsor
or
something
you
and
you
don't
even
want
it
considered.
You
could
actually
say
pass
on
my
bill.
It's
not!
Maybe
it's
not
often
that
happens,
but
there
is
a
way.
If
you
just
committed
chairman,
says:
hey,
there's
too
many
challenges
with
this
bill.
A
We
just
don't
have
the
time
or,
however,
you
want
to
approach
that,
but
so
right
now,
I'm
going
to
entertain
just
requests
to
remove
bills.
This
is
not
there's
not
a
motion
on
the
floor,
but
I'm
just
going
to
take
these
as
requests
to
remove
bills,
so
we
so
we
can
get
some
of
that
out
of
the
way
and
the
chief
clerk
isn't
calling
all
these
names
we'll
still
call
the
rest
of
the
bills
so
representative
duncan
a
bill
to
remove
from
the
consent.
A
M
A
Well,
I
can
you
can
certainly
remove
things
when
this
majority
floor
leader
takes
puts
forth.
The
motion.
There'll
still
be
a
vote
on
every
individual
bill,
just
like
there
was
until
yesterday,
I'm
just
trying
to
expedite
going
through
that
process,
while
we're
waiting
on
the
military
department
which
they're
just
arriving
so,
do
you
have
something
you'd
like
to
remove
greg?
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I'd
like
to
remove
79
and
87.
A
A
So,
fellow
representatives
at
66th,
we
are
honored
to
have
wyoming's
attitude:
general
gen,
major
general
greg,
porter
and
command
chief
master
sergeant,
josh
moore
wyoming's
senior
enlisted
leader
with
us
here
today
to
recognize
several
military
members
who
proudly
serve
as
our
sword
and
shield
as
the
sword.
Wyoming
airmen
and
soldiers
answer
the
nation's
call
they
mobilize
and
deploy
all
over
the
world
as
members
of
the
armed
forces
as
the
shield.
They
respond
here
at
home,
ready
to
tackle
floods,
fires
and
all
things
in
between.
A
N
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Thank
you,
members
of
the
people's
house
for
allowing
us
to
be
here
today.
My
name
is
mitch
general
greg
porter
and
I
have
chief
command
sergeant,
josh
moore
with
us
today,
and
just
thank
you
very.
Please
have
a
seat
if
you
like,
making
me
nervous
now:
hey
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
for
us
to
talk
about
really
one
of
our
favorite
subjects
today
and
that's
the
men
and
women
who
represent
the
wyoming
national
guard
and
the
wyoming
military
department.
N
You
know
governor
gordon
mentioned
yesterday
and-
and
the
speaker
also
mentioned
too,
that
I
refer
to
our
forces,
the
sword
and
the
shield
and
that's
true,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
it's
really
on
the
reason
I
do
that
is
is
from
some
guidance
that
our
commander-in-chief
governor
mark
gordon
gave
me
and
there's
lots
of
great
things
that
the
wyoming
military
military
department
does
and
can
do.
But
there's
three
things
that
you
got
to
do
right.
N
N
N
If
it
comes
to
a
fight,
we
must
win.
When
I
say
we
must
win,
it's
not
like
when
the
olympics.
When
we
come
down
the
hill
and
the
silver
medalist
comes
in
400
of
a
second
behind
him,
we
can't
afford
that
close
of
a
win
we
have
to
be
dominant.
We
have
to
be
overwhelming.
We
have
to
leave
our
adversaries
in
the
starting
gate,
because
if
we
don't
win
that
way
too
many
of
our
people
don't
come
home.
N
Today,
though,
I
want
to
focus
about
the
shield
in
this
chamber.
As
most
of
you
know,
the
national
guard
across
this
united
states
has
been
had
significant
role
this
past
year
and
your
wyoming
guard
was
no
different.
Our
our
air
guard
fought
fires
in
the
west
this
past
year.
Second
busiest
firefighting
season
they've
ever
had
I.
I
don't
suspect
that
the
upcoming
year
is
going
to
be
too
less
much
less
different.
N
Both
of
the
are
wyoming
air
guard
and
army
guard
deployed
to
both
operation
capital
responses,
and
I
tell
you
here
in
the
state
of
wyoming
your
guard,
along
with
our
colleagues
in
the
department
of
health
led
by
interim
director,
stephen
johansen
and
our
wyoming
office
of
homeland
security,
led
by
director
lin
budd.
We
also
had
missions
to
perform.
N
We
executed
operation,
patch
adams
and
the
intent
behind
patch
adams
was
to
provide
some
additional
support
to
our
communities,
who,
frankly,
have
been
flat,
worn
out
from
fighting
covid
for
the
last
couple
years.
More
than
100
wyoming
guards,
men
and
women
stepped
up
to
assist
26
medical
facilities
in
18,
wyoming
communities.
N
N
N
Our
hospitals
have
been
nothing
but
grateful.
They
they've
treated
our
soldiers
and
airmen
with
dignity
and
respect,
and,
as
I
talked
to
those
individuals
who
perform
patch
atoms,
they
couldn't
be.
They
couldn't
be
prouder
of
the
work
that
they've
done.
They
really
do
enjoy
making
a
difference
in
helping
their
communities
and
and
that's
why
they
they
do
what
they
do.
N
Following
all
withdrawal
from
afghanistan,
the
united
states
brought
thousands
of
our
at-risk
afghan
allies
back
to
the
homeland
in
operation.
Allies.
Welcome
the
dod
component
of
that
was
called
operation.

deployed
13
airmen
to
support
that
effort,
and
we
brought
two
of
them
with
us
here
today.
Let
me
introduce
senior
master
sergeant,
jennifer
ballinger
and
technical
sergeant,
shilo
vallo.
N
Hey
these
two
have
a
pretty
incredible
story.
I'm
gonna
tell
you
now
you
know
they
deployed
to
to
maguire
back
in
september
and
within
a
couple
of
weeks
of
them
being
there,
they
were
just
on
a
normal
shift,
happy
to
be
walking
by
and
an
afghani
father
came
up
to
him
and
said:
hey,
listen,
my
my
wife's
going
into
labor
or
tried
to
do
that.
Obviously,
doesn't
speak
english
very
well!
N
So
they're
they're
trying
to
get
this
across
to
our
two,
our
two
airmen,
with
only
male
doctors
on
duty,
the
laboring
pregnant
woman,
wanted
the
support
of
a
female.
Even
though
these
two
airmen
had
no
formal
medical
training
and
serve
in
administrative
roles
in
the
air
national
guard.
They
are
both
moms
like
we
have
come
to
expect
from
our
wyoming
guardsmen.
They
were
quick
to
react
despite
a
language
barrier
sergeant,
spallinger
and
valo
knew
exactly
what
to
do
and
ensured
the
safe
delivery
of
a
baby
girl.
N
You
can
see,
mr
speaker,
why
this
is
our
favorite
subject.
We
have
some
incredible
people
and
again
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
today.
You
have
many
difficult
tasks
ahead
of
you
from
budget
to
redistricting.
What
to
do
with
our
arpa
monies.
Much
needed
raisins
raises
for
our
state
employees
and
the
myriads
of
bills
and
legislative
discussion
will
each
have
in
the
days
to
come.
It
is
a
testament
to
your
support
to
our
guard
that
you
allowed
us
this
time
to
speak
with
you
today.
N
N
N
N
N
They
were
intensely
loyal
to
the
outfit
they
were
working
for
and
would
fight
to
the
death
for
it.
They
would
follow
their
wagon
boss
through
hell
and
never
complain
on
behalf
of
the
men
and
women
who
make
up
the
wyoming
military
department.
Thank
you
for
all
that.
You
sacrifice
in
your
service
to
wyoming
bless
our
veterans
bless.
Our
families
bless
all
those
who
serve
the
sword
and
shield
ride
for
the
brand.
A
General
porter,
chief
moore,
we
thank
you
for
joining
us
for
sharing
the
the
fine
example
we
have
of
our
guard
with
us
here
today.
We
thank
you
for
their
service.
Thank
all
the
members
of
the
service.
Thank
you
for
mentioning
the
veterans
that
have
previously
served.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
we
have
this
little
tradition.

All
right,
so
members
we're
going
to
continue
with
introductory
votes.
These
are
the
votes
of
the
on
the
bills
that
were
pulled
from
the
consent
list.
Yesterday,
I'm
going
to
read
off
the
bills.
I've
had
one
request
for
a
bill
to
be
removed,
I'll
make
a
notion
mention
of
that
and
and
at
least
the
reason
that
the
chairman
gave
me
for
that
and
so
the
bills
and
we're
just
going
to
do
them
in
numerical
order
today,
because
I
think
that's
just
the
easiest.
A
So
the
bills
that
we're
going
to
take
up
are
in
this
order
house
bill
number
eight
house
bill:
18
house,
bill,
29
house,
bill,
32
house,
bill,
36
house,
bill
47
house,
bill
80.,
chairman
of
transportation,
asked
me
to
remove
house
bill
12
because
it's
being
taken
care
of
elsewhere
and
enough
unnecessary
at
this
time.
So
again,
it's
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
the
first
three
number,
eight
number
18
number
29.
A
Q
R
R
The
city's
towns
and
counties
would
still
get
the
proceeds
from
the
sale
of
traditional
lottery
tickets.
Only
scratch
ticket
sales
would
benefit
recreation
throughout
the
state.
We
all
know
that
outdoor
recreation
is
important
to
our
citizens
and
our
visitors.
The
challenge
becomes
building
and
maintaining
the
infrastructure
that
is
essential
to
the
outdoor
experience
all
over
the
state
outdoor
collaboratives
have
been
formed.
These
grassroots
organizations
are
in
the
process
of
identifying
projects
that
need
to
be
done,
but
lacked
funding
to
complete
them.
R
Just
a
couple
miles
outside
of
my
town
of
cody,
there
is
a
cedar
mountain,
it's
easily
accessible,
just
a
few
miles
from
town
and
has
great
hiking
and
climbing.
It
sits
on
land
that
is
owned
by
by
the
blm
by
the
bureau
of
reclamation
and
as
as
well
as
private
land.
At
this
time
there
is
no
infrastructure
or
management
of
this
recreation
area.
Last
summer,
an
estimated
22
thousand
people
use
this
recreation
area.
R
Unfortunately,
there
are
no
toilets
or
trash
cans.
This
makes
for
a
real
problem
with
human
waste
and
trash
the
park
county
outdoor
collaborative
is
planning
to
add
the
necessary
amenities
to
make
this
area
more
user-friendly,
but
they
need
funding
with
a
grant
from
the
outdoor
recreation
office.
They
would
be
happy
to
contribute
many
hours
of
volunteer
time,
as
well
as
expertise
to
complete
the
project.
R
A
I
had
the
hammer
she
pulled
it
off.
So
members.
Anybody
like
to
speak
in
opposition
is
loud.
There's
one
minute
allowed
for
opposition
and
we'd
like
to
speak
in
opposition.
Anybody
like
to
speak
in
opposition
if
you
want
to
speak
in
opposition,
be
at
the
mic,
because
you're
wasting
time
for
introductions.
Folks,
representative
harrelson.
S
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
so
I
would
just
speak
against
this.
I
believe
that
we
were
at
a
place
in
the
state
where
we
have
continued
to
increase
and
add
into
our
gaming
sector
quite
a
bit
of
of
different
aspects,
and
I
believe
a
scratch-off
ticket
would
be
another
way
that
we
would
pull
money
out
of
an
already
depleted
economy,
and-
and
I
just
don't
see
it
as
something
we
need
to
do-
do
I
agree
that
we
need
to
work
for
outdoor
recreation
funding.
I
believe
that
is
the
case.
S
We
did
hear
there's
a
lot
of
sectors
of
that
like
mountain
biking
and
stuff
that
have
not
at
all
helped
with
the
funding
of
outdoor
recreation
majority
of
our
outdoor
recreation
funding
comes
through
hunting
and
fishing
as
well
as
motorized
vehicles,
so
I
believe,
there's
options
for
outdoor
recreation
funding.
That
would
not
require
us
to
add
another
another
form
of
gaming
in
our
states.
So
I
would
ask
that
we
do
not
add
another
form
of
gaming.
At
this
point.
R
A
B
A
T
J
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
would
like
to
ask
you
to
consider
this
bill
be
favorably,
because,
a
year
ago
we
we
put
in
an
update
to
the
statute,
and
we
we
inadvertently
change
it
to.
If
you
own
an
off-road
vehicle,
then
we
don't
have
to
register
it
until
you
change
ownership
and
that's
a
loss
to
revenue,
of
course,
that
revenue
is
needed
for
off-road
purposes
and
also
other
good
purposes.
So
this
fixes
that
this
requires
the
registration
to
be
done
on
an
annual
basis.
That's
the
basis
of
this
bill.
Any
questions.

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Members
of
the
66
I
bring
you
house
bill,
29,
hathaway
scholarship
amendments
and
ask
for
your
favorable
consideration.
Mr
speaker,
your
education
committee
took
up
the
interim
topic
of
the
hathaway
scholarship
and
house
bill.
29
is
the
recommended
amendments
house.
Bill
29
allows
working
students
to
take
less
than
six
hours
per
se
semester
and
still
remain
eligible
for
the
hathaway.
D
The
bill
modernizes
the
expenditure
and
reserve
account
by
merging
them
by
allowing
investment
in
pool
a
and
by
fixing
a
timing
issue
with
payout
of
the
hathaway
members.
I
forward
you
an
email
at
about
858
from
one
of
our
lso
staff.
That
explains
the
changes
in
the
accounts
and
the
spinning
policy
and
mr
speaker,
the
hathaway
corpus
has
been
growing
and
house
bill.
29
provides
a
slight
increase
in
the
hathaway
scholarship
amounts
and,
mr
speaker,
I
would
stand
for
any
questions.
A
M
Representative
gray,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
I
would
like
to
get
clarity
and
to
be
clear.
You
know
this
time
is
also
allotted
for
questions.
My
memory
is
that
we
just
increased
this
probably
two
years
ago,
maybe
one
year
ago.
I
just
want
to
understand
what
the
percentage
was
last
time
and
and
when
that,
when
that
occurred.
H
A
V
B
A
W
W
We've
worked
on
it
throughout
the
entire
interim.
It
uses
the
existing
legal
concept
of
reasonable
accommodation,
which
has
been
adjudicated
and
used
by
hr
departments.
For
decades
the
bill
looks
at
vaccine
passports,
visitation
and
healthcare
facilities,
employment
and
also
k-12
vaccination
requirements.
It's
actually
in
spite
of
that
breadth
of
topic,
it's
very
narrowly
crafted
it
does
balance
the
rights
of
business
owners
and
employers
with
the
interests
of
employees
and
clients,
because
the
committee
voted
to
sponsor
it
at
every
one
of
our
meetings.
W
Even
after
the
special
session,
the
bill's
language
now
acknowledges
the
effect
of
the
supreme
court
decisions.
You
know
I'm
sure
we
are
all
very
tired
of
covid
and
would
like
to
never
hear
about
it
again,
but
that's
what
we
thought
last
spring
and
we
think
it
would
be
better
if
the
legislature
actually
deals
with
vaccinations
and
reasonable
accommodation
broadly
now,
rather
than
to
continue
to
have
special
sessions
for
the
disease
of
the
year
whatever
year
it
is.
W
A
Thank
you.
You
did
not
use
your
entire
two
minutes,
but
thank
you
for
that,
madam
minority
floor
leader
and
speaking
in
opposition.
Anybody
else
wants
to
speak
in
opposition.
If
the
minority
florida
doesn't
take
the
entire
minute,
please
be
prepared.
Please
begin,
madam
minority
photo
leader.
Thank.
X
You,
mr
speaker,
I
urge
you
to
vote
no
on
introduction.
This
is
a
bill
that
we
voted
down
in
special
session.
Some
might
argue
that
this
bill
should
be
defeated,
because
it
is
inadequate,
like
an
email
that
we
got
this
morning,
but
I'll
give
you
my
first
three
reasons
why
it
goes
too
far
and
should
be
defeated.
X
X
It
strips
wyoming
businesses
from
establishing
terms
and
conditions
of
work
to
protect
their
workers,
their
public
and
their
bottom
line.
It
again,
potentially
puts
our
employers
at
odds
with
federal
doctrine
would
have
to
choose
between
the
feds
or
the
state
and
the
sanctions
that
follow
and
third,
this
bill
has
a
completely
arbitrary
five-year
wait
period
before
schools
can
mandate
a
proven,
effective
vaccine
for
anything.
A
W
Seconds,
mr
speaker,
in
fact
we
did
not
vote
it
down
during
special
session.
We
voted
eye
on
it
in
committee
and
it
wasn't
heard
on
the
floor.
The
bill
has
amended
to
take
into
consideration
the
federal
issue,
so
we
are
very
carefully
not
putting
state
businesses
in
a
nutcracker
between
state
and
federal,
and
I
think,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
it's
our
job,
preferably
to
plan
ahead
for
future
things
and
not
just
jump
up
and
down
for
one
disease.
That's
why
it
is
a
broad
bill
stating
legislative
concepts.
So
we
don't
have
to
thank.

no.
A
V
V
That
statute
was
put
in
place
nearly
20
years
ago,
and
nobody
has
followed
it
and
the
good
speaker
discovered
this,
and
this
became
a
interim
topic
for
your
committee
number
three.
So
he
looked
at
all
these
from
federal
mineral
royalty,
severance
tax
inheritance
tax,
looked
at
the
severance
tax
have
a
bill
draft
in
front
of
you
to
make
a
slight
change
which
explain
and
that's
in
the
green
part,
the
current
recipients.
The
cap
is
155
million
for
severance
tax.
V
Those
go
go
to
water
highways,
city
and
county
road
funds
and
capcom
that
would
not
change
their
dollar
amounts
one
iota.
We
simply
raised
the
tax
from
155
to
200,
had
school
foundation
program
in
there
we're
trying
to
get
45
million
bucks
to
the
school
foundation
to
eliminate
this
paper
deficit.
So
we
quit
talking
about
it.
V
We've
taken
a
lot
of
these
50
million
dollar
little
chunks,
the
last
four
or
five
years,
and
took
what
was
then
a
paper
deficit
of
500
million
down
to
now
around
100
million,
and
so
this
will
cut
it
in
half
and
so
who
are
the
losers
on
this
anything
over
the
cap
flows,
two-thirds
one-third
budget
reserve
account
general
fund.
Currently,
there's
640
million
dollars
in
the
budget
reserve
account
and
then,
additionally
in
blue.
I
think
it's
really
important.
There's
a
much
more
than
this
45
million
amount
of
severance
derived
from
school
state
trust
lands.
V
A
V
The
issue
in
wyoming
is
not
our
revenue,
it's
really
our
volatility
piece
and
and
because
over
half
our
property
taxes
are
paid
for
by
minerals.
It's
assessed
at
100
percent,
and
so
really
that's.
This
idea
is
to
spread
this
out
and
diversify
a
little
more.
So
thank
you,
members
and
thank
you,
mr
speaker,.

This
allows
locals
to
address
the
impacts
ahead
of
construction.
The
estimated
cost
of
the
project
is
determined
by
the
citing
council.
Since
the
implementation
of
this
formula
we've
identified
some
gaps.
We
find
the
industrial
siting.
Commission
wasn't
required
to
provide
justification
for
the
amounts
of
the
impact
aid
approved.
They
weren't
required
to
consider
distribution
ratio
of
unmitigated
impacts
when
the
impacts
covered
multiple
jurisdictions,
such
as
disproportionate
impacts
on
smaller
communities
or
respective
counties.
F

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
rise
in
opposition
to
this
bill
with
respect
for
the
collaborative
work
the
good
representative
from
the
southwest
corner
of
the
state
has
put
into
it.
It
has
improved
since
we
have
seen
it
last
currently.
Wyoming
is
the
only
state
that
distributes
general
funds
this
way
generated
from
sales
and
use
tax
from
construction
and
purchasing
back
to
local
communities
for
unmitigated
impacts.
E
F
A
F
Chairman,
if
you
go
back
and
look
at
the
amount,
the
the
numbers
of
projects
that
have
been
used,
the
the
percentage
of
impact
assessments
required
has
not
been
at
the
7.2
at
the
2.76
level.
We've
adjusted
it
to
accommodate
what
has
been
provided.
I'd
encourage
you
to
support
this
bill
and
let
us
fix
the
gaps.
A
B
A
Z
Z
There
is
some
concern
that
we
have
outside
political
action
committees
and
what
they
call
super
pacs
forming
sometimes
for
wyoming
candidates
outside
of
wyoming,
sometimes
more
to
national
level
and
money
goes
through
wyoming
and
for
a
wide
variety
of
legitimately
good
reasons.
But
we
do
have
a
loophole
existing
in
our
law
on
how
we
account
for
that
money,
transfers
when
it
comes
through
and
how
it
gets
spent.
Z
We
changed
that
to
500
per
day
after
the
final
order
until
the
report's
filed.
The
conversation
with
some
of
these
expenditures
are
in
the
five-digit
range
or
higher,
and
so
more
than
a
500
fee
or
penalty
is
necessary
to
enforce.
You
know
any
type
of
wrongdoing
or
enforce
transparency
and
accountability,
but
ask
for
your
favorable
consideration.

The
list
yesterday
got
dropped
by
the
chief
clerk
and
I
it's
house
bill
40.,
so
we're
going
to
do
house
bill
40
because
that's
from
yesterday's
list
so
yeah
we
got
to
get
the
chief
clerk
organized
here,
follow
the
script
and
then
I'm
going
to
give
you
the
bills
we're
going
to
do
after
that.
That
was
withdrawn
from
the
list
today
and
we're
going
to
start
with.
After
so
it'll
be
house
bill,
40
and
then
it'll
be
house
bill.

A
A
AB
Folks,
I
bring
you
on
behalf
of
the
joint
judiciary
committee
house,
bill,
40
judicial
housing
allowance
and
just
real
quick.
You
listened
to
the
state
of
the
judiciary
yesterday
and
heard
the
long
list
of
judicial
appointments,
and
our
judicial
nominating
commission
has
been
very
busy
filling
those
appointments
through
retirement
and
then,
as
judges,
move
up,
there's
a
lot
of
work
there
and
this
bill
is
brought
to
us
in
conjunction
with
those
efforts
that
are
occurring
as
we
see
the
need
to
fill
judges
the
third
year.
AB
Third
branch
of
government
is
looking
strongly
at
particular
areas
of
the
state
where
it's
just
not
affordable
for
good
judges
and
so
applications
don't
look
as
good
as
maybe
they
could,
or
the
fear
is
that
they
may
not
look
as
good
in
the
future
as
they
could.
All
this
is
is
simply
a
may
option.
Lets
the
third
branch
of
government
include
housing
within
its
salary
for
judges
in
certain
areas.
AB
It
will
create
its
own
rules
on
what
that
looks
like
in
terms
of
the
formula
consistent
with
what
we
do
in
the
executive
branch
through
through
certain
agencies
that
allow
for
housing
allowances
inside
of
your
compensation
comes
out
of
their
own
budget.
Again,
your
third
branch
of
government
and
it
can't
affect
sitting
justices
or
judges
pursuant
to
the
constitution.
So
really
pretty
straightforward
and
it's
you
know
it's
really
brought
to
you
by
that
other
branch,
who's
searching
for
some
solutions
with
some
issues
that
they're
seeing.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
thank.
M
Okay,
representative
gray,
please
proceed.
Thank
you
speaker.
I
I
just
speak
in
opposition.
I
appreciate
the
work
of
the
judiciary,
but
the
raises
that
occurred
a
few
years
ago.
It
was
really
the
first
one
to
move,
and
I
I
just
don't,
I
think,
about
the
equity
of
of
the
way
this
is
worded.
I
think
that
it's
just
unequitable
and
and
what
I
want
to
understand
is
why
should
this
be
different
than
any
other
state
employee?
AC
A
AB
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
First
and
foremost,
the
executive
branch
actually
already
does
this
for
your
fishing
game
and
school
district.
So
it's
not
judicial
alone.
Secondly,
they're
not
getting
into
the
housing
market
they're
allowing
housing,
it
would
be
a
housing
stipend
as
part
of
your
compensation
and
third,
you
know
talk
to
your
local
judges.
Folks,
if
you
talk
to
your
judges,
I
think
you'll
get
a
very
straightforward
answer
on
the
necessity
of
this
in
certain
areas
of
the
state
so
make
it
local
talk
to
your
folks.
This
is
a
good
deal.
Thank.
A
B
A
F
F
L
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
In
conversations
I've
had
with
folks
on
the
ground
that
have
brought
bison
to
the
reservation.
Their
concern
is
that
introducing
the
language
of
brucellosis
and
bison
into
the
bill
is
a
threat
to
their
buffalo
programs,
which
is
an
issue
that's
already
been
mitigated
because
the
bison
have
to
be
tested
before
they
come
in
for
brucellosis
and
other
disease,
and
so
the
concern
is
that
there
that
this
might
pose
a
threat
to
those
programs
and
making
sure
that
we
have
bison
on
the
win
on
the
wind
river
reservation.

A
V
This
is
a
committee
bill
we
worked
on
and
I
think,
interestingly
enough
has
support
of
our
number
three
industry
in
the
state,
the
ag
community
and
what
we
learned
really
the
history
of
this.
When
this
this
ag
exemption
really
to
qualify
for
the
ag
property
rate
many
many
decades
ago
was
the
idea
was
to
set
it
around
five
to
ten
thousand
dollars
and
then
in
the
legislative
process.
V
When
the
bill
came
through,
somebody
in
an
amendment
dropped
it
to
500.,
really
the
two
largest
ag
industry
representatives,
one
wanted
ten
one
one
at
five
really
in
our
committee
meetings,
and
so
this
bill
would
raise
that
gross
revenue
from
a
mere
five
hundred
dollars
to
five
thousand.
And
it's
a
tough
bill.
V
I
mean
it
just
is,
but
so
the
idea
is
to
really
really
work
on
this
issue
of
these
hobby
ranches,
who
you
know
have
some
pretty
nice
places,
many
of
them
and
and
can
easily
qualify,
then
by
just
doing
a
simple
rent
a
little
bit
of
their
land,
or
you
know
a
small
amount
of
of
gross
gross
revenue.
So
one
cow
one
horse
whatever,
and
so
that's
really
what
we're
trying
to
do.
It's
not
an
easy
bill,
and
so
I
bring
it
for
your
consideration.
G
Thank
you,
members
and
opposition
representative
simpson.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
members.
This
bill
harms
the
small
agricultural
landowners.
If
you
look
at
the
fiscal
note,
you'll
see
the
benefit
to
the
state
is,
is
really
really
minor,
but
the
damage
to
those
individual
agricultural
users
is
significantly
greater.
I
would
submit
to
you.
The
benefit
is
not
worth
the
damage.
AD
K
A
A
Y
A
A
U
X
Thank
you,
mr
speaker,
friends.
This
is
one
of
the
bills
that
we
considered
on
education
for
the
past
couple
of
years,
because
we
have
a
need
to
increase
post-secondary
educational
attainment.
What
this
bill
does
it
makes
it
less
burdensome
for
students
to
use
their
hathaway
scholarships
to
get
everything
from
a
high
quality
certificate
like
a
cdl
to
an
associate
or
a
bachelor's
degree.
Right
now,
there's
a
problem
with
the
rules
and
administration
of
the
hathaway
post
high
school.
It
works
great
for
kids
with
honors
and
who
just
start
college
and
finish
in
four
years.
X
It
doesn't
work
so
great
for
students
who
drop
out
and
want
to
return
or
for
those
on
the
lower
end
of
the
eligibility
who
only
get
a
couple
hundred
dollars
per
semester.
So
the
solution
that
this
bill
proposes
is
to
turn
the
hath
away
award
that
a
student
earned
in
high
school
into
a
lump
sum
payment
that
the
student
can
draw
down
from
for
educational
expenses
over
a
period
not
to
exceed
20
years.
It
doesn't
change
the
amount
of
the
award
at
all
I'll
give
you
an
example.
X
An
average
student,
a
kid
with
a
average
gpa
in
a
ct,
will
earn
a
hathaway
opportunity
scholarship
it's
about
sixty
seven
hundred
dollars
right
now.
That
award
can
only
be
used
in
eight
hundred
and
forty
dollar
increments
over
four
years
for
each
semester,
a
kid
who
wants
to
get
a
cdl
and
is
in
a
community
college,
that's
somewhat
worthless.
This
allows
that
kid
to
draw
down
their
entire
hathaway
in
order
to
get
that
certificate
and
move
on
this
bill
also
repeals
continuing
eligibility
requirements,
while
in
college,
thus
reducing
administrative
burden.
X
O
F
I
I
X
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Inflation
is
addressed
in
another
bill
as
well
as
the
wyoming
works
program
in
the
wyoming
tomorrows
bill
that
you'll
hear
about
in
just
a
second.
You
know
what,
in
all
honesty,
sure
there
are
going
to
be
some
kids
that
mess
around
with
their
money.
They
do
it
now,
but
this
allows
the
kid
who
is
wants
to
get
that
certificate
to
be
able
to
get
it.
It
also
allows,
for
example,
a
kid
who
has
dropped
out
of
school
in
order
to
be
a
parent
to
come
back
five
years
later.
X
A
B
A
Members
house
bill
28
having
not
received
a
two-thirds
vote.
It
is
indefinitely
postponed
members
looking
at
the
time
and
what
and
we
have
committee
meetings
meeting
at
noon.
It
takes
us
about
seven,
eight
minutes
to
get
through
a
bill.
So
I
think,
by
the
time
we
get
close
up,
we're
gonna
make
our
committees
go
a
little
long
or
be
short
time.
So
mr

floor
leader.
AA
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
csg
west
is
here
the
executive
director
and
a
staff
member
is
here
to
talk
about
the
western
legislative
academy.
Many
of
your
colleagues
and
co-workers
here
have
attended,
and
I
think
many
of
them
can
speak
very
well.
I
don't
think
any
of
them
had
a
bad
time.
So
it's
it's
a
really
excellent
program.
AA
It
teaches
you
how
to
be
a
better
legislator
legislator
to
create
a
better
legislature,
and
so,
if
you
have
any
questions,
they're
offering
lunch
until
1
pm
down
in
w108
just
one
floor
down,
so
thank
you
and
I
hope
everyone
that
is
eligible
who,
if
you
you
are
eligible,
if
you're
within
the
first
four

of
your
turn,
goes
to
ask
questions
and
also
apply.
Thank
