"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:9
2009 Legislative Session
On January 13, 2009, the Wyoming State Legislature will convene in Cheyenne for a forty-day "General session". General sessions alternate with Budget sessions every other year. While money can still be appropriated during a General session, the emphasis will be on non-budgetary bills. Procedurally, the main difference is that bills can be introduced without the 2/3rds vote required during Budget sessions. Also, because this session is twice as long as last year’s Budget session, many more bills are likely to be passed instead of succumbing to various calendar deadlines. While the Legislative leaders hope adjourn on March 5th, after 37 days, the session may constitutionally run through March 10th, for the full forty days. You can follow the Legislature from home via the internet. Go to http://legisweb.state.wy.us for summaries of every bill introduced, committee schedules, votes, etc. The site also offers email links for every Senator and Representative, affording you an easy method to make your opinion known to your local legislator or members of a committee reviewing a bill of interest. As the session progresses HOW will alert you to any bills affecting homeschooling or parental rights.
