wyoming legislature

Harshman says if the ''Governor calls us and we would not have to meet in Cheyenne, we would most likely meet remotely from our homes.''

Former Wyoming House representative James Byrd is hoping to take over Republican Sen. Affie Ellis' seat this November.

The bills were all passed by state lawmakers in the recently-concluded legislative session.

The measure passed the House on a 44-16 vote Wednesday.

The statement says the legislature is working with Governor Mark Gordon and the Wyoming Department of Health to make sure resources are available.

The bill was changed in the Senate on Monday to say that three ''western states" would have to pass a similar law.

Among other things, it provides for penalties of 25 years in prison without the chance of parole for subsequent human trafficking convictions.

The bill was approved for introduction in the House by a 57-2 margin, with one excused.

At least 11 states have approved various resolutions to do away with the time changes, and others are pending in other states.

Harshman called the comments ''insensitive'' and ''disrespectful." He went on to say that "I don't appreciate the breach of that privilege that I granted him.''
