Legislature convenes

The 67th Wyoming Legislature convened in a joint session of the Wyoming Senate and House of Representatives on Monday, Feb. 12, during the first day of legislative proceedings of the 2024 Budget Session. 

Gov. Mark Gordon delivered his State of the State address, followed by the State of the Judiciary address, delivered by Wyoming Supreme Court Chief Justice Kate M. Fox. 

We encourage you to use the Wyoming Legislature’s website to track legislation and participate in policymaking during the 2024 Budget Session. The web address is http://www.wyoleg.gov and is continually updated as each bill moves through the legislative process.

A variety of resources are available on the site, including information about the legislative process, and proposed legislation and amendments sponsored by legislative committees and individual members. The text of each bill is posted on the Legislature’s website as soon as the legislation is assigned a bill number.

The status for bills in the House and Senate can be tracked via the legislative website by clicking on the “2024 Legislation” link on the homepage, or the “2024 Budget Session Bills” link under “Legislation” in the lower portion of the website. Additionally, residents can find information about how their legislators voted by clicking on the “Votes” tab on each individual bill page. The results are posted after each roll call vote is taken.

The public can watch live and archived video of House and Senate floor proceedings and committee meetings on the Legislature’s YouTube channel. Users can access videos by clicking the YouTube icon on the Legislature’s website, or by searching “Wyoming Legislature” on YouTube.

The website also provides a variety of ways for residents to contact their elected officials, including contact information for legislators and the “Online Hotline” which allows the public to recommend support for or opposition to a piece of legislation and leave a comment regarding a bill.
