Senate File 71

Senator Bouchard said on Thursday that while he considers the House bill the better bill he thinks "there is pushback all the way from the top" against it.

Bill sponsor Anthony Bouchard [R-Laramie County] said the amendment passed on Tuesday essentially ''guts" the stand your ground bill.

Non-budget items will need a 2/3 majority vote for introduction in the upcoming legislative session.

The bill will be considered by Wyoming lawmakers during the session that gets underway on Feb. 12.

The bill is co-sponsored by Senators Hicks and Driskill and Representative Baker, Blackburn, Clem, Edwards, Lindholm, Madden and MIller.
