By Peter Long (Cheyenne, WY) — The Wyoming Legislature concluded the 66th General Legislative Session Thursday, April 8. The session included 34 working days despite challenges created by the Coronavirus pandemic and snowstorms last month. A near-record 441 bills were introduced during the abbreviated session, which saw a significant increase in public engagement through virtual participation options.

The House introduced a total of 227 bills, 101 of which earned the approval of both bodies. Legislation that passed both houses has either been acted on or is awaiting action by Governor Mark Gordon.
