Wyoming Legislature

The session had been expected to be called to deal with the allocation of federal American Rescue Plan Act money, which totals over $1 billion.

Bouchard disclosed his teenage marriage last week in a Facebook Live video, telling supporters it was “like the Romeo and Juliet story.''

Republican state House Speaker Eric Barlow was not immediately available to comment.

The state will be getting roughly $1.3 billion in stimulus money to be spent for such things as municipalities, education, rental assistance, and other areas.

The process removes state lawmakers.

Balow echoed comments made by Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon earlier this year in telling Woods that the current school funding system is ''not sustainable."

Today is the last day of the 2021 General Session of the Legislature, although a special session is expected to be called later this year.

Governor Gordon vetoed the same bill last year.

The House has already passed HB 127, but since the Senate made changes to the bill, it will now go back to the House for concurrence.

The governor says the budget overall ensures that Wyoming lives within its means.
