Senate committee: School board races should be partisan

Via the and the Wyoming Tribune Eagle
CHEYENNE — Despite a majority of public testimony against doing so, a group of senators have backed a measure to put party affiliation on the ballot in school board races.
Sen. Jared Olsen, R-Cheyenne, brought Senate File 98, “School board trustees-party affiliation,” to the Senate Education Committee, of which he is a member, on Wednesday.
If passed, the bill will require candidates for school board to have their political party affiliation printed on general election ballots, effective July 1. The bill would not require school board candidates to participate in primary elections, however.

Gun free zones repeal overwhelmingly approved in House, headed to Senate

Via the and The Sheridan Press
SHERIDAN — A bill to repeal most of Wyoming’s gun free zones — including at government buildings and schools — is headed down the hall to the Senate after the House of Representatives overwhelmingly supported the measure.
This year marks the 10th time in the last 12 years — and the third consecutive year — that a similar bill has hit the Wyoming Legislature.
It was passed by both the House and Senate last year. though the bill took a rocky road to Gov. Mark Gordon’s desk in 2024, having been killed in a Senate committee before former Sheridan Sen. Dave Kinskey resurrected it.

Barrasso bill would support ranchers, livestock grazing

Via the
CHEYENNE (WNE) — John Barrasso, R-Wyo., on Thursday introduced the Resiliency for Ranching and Natural Conservation Health Act. This legislation would promote resilient and healthy rangelands and effective grazing management across the West, according to a news release from Barrasso’s office.
“Livestock grazing plays a critical role for Wyoming’s ranchers to maintain rangeland health and protect their livelihoods,” Barrasso said in the release. “All across America, we depend on our hardworking ranchers. The RANCH Act gives them the support they need to work through natural disasters and efficiently navigate permits and grazing rights. Our bill promotes robust rangeland for livestock, creates habitats for wildlife, and makes life easier for Wyoming’s ranching communities.”
