Wyoming Legislature will likely hold its first special session in over 15 years to address financial concerns brought about by the COVID-19 virus. Teton County Senator Mike Gierau says the question is when the special session might take place. In making that decision, Gierau says there are two trains of thought: hold it now to push out money for a need that is critical, or wait and see what develops, letting Governor Gordon work on short term needs. Gierau says the Management Council of the Legislature will be meeting officially on April 16th to take up the scheduling question. In the meantime, he says those legislators on the Council are talking to each other on an informal basis to flesh out ideas. The Legislature last met in a special session in 2004 to endorse a constitutional amendment to limit medical malpractice damage claims, which voters rejected that fall.
