A Bill To Speed Limit In Wyoming Clears Another Hurdle [AUDIO]

Speed Limit Bill

The House passed a bill on second reading Friday that would allow the speed limit to be increased to 80 mph on certain stretches of highways. The bill's sponsor, House Speaker Representative Tom Lubnau, says the speed limit would not be raised everywhere in the state but the bill would allow the speed limit to be raised in areas where it can be done safely. The bill needs to pass one more reading in the House before moving on to the Senate.
