For only the second time in Wyoming’s history, the state legislature was called into special session, this time to discuss the proposed federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Senate President Dan Dockstader says twenty-one unique bills were introduced in both houses. Thirteen of those bills were heard and debated on the floor and in the committees of the Senate or House of Representatives over the course of the seven-day session. Every legislator who attended this session worked hard to make those bills better, and in the end, to do what they believed was right and in the best interest for the people of Wyoming. When all was said and done, one of those bills survived to passage, but Dockstader says the work isn’t entirely over yet.
“The work both legislatively and in the courts will continue. As noted, Wyoming has launched a lawsuit on this today. But we’re continuing to work on this – but that’s where we’re at right now.”
To that end, Governor Mark Gordon has announced that Wyoming along with several other states will sue the Biden Administration today over unconstitutional vaccine mandates being imposed on employers with more than 100 employees.
