The Wyoming Legislature has been abuzz this week with a number of high-profile bills â and topics â filtering through the House and Senate. Some would directly impact Teton County, and others have animated conversation around Medicaid expansion, abortion rights, taxes, power generation and voting.
Weâve rounded up a few of the bills here.
House Bill 164, co-sponsored by Teton County Rep. Andy Schwartz and Sen. Mike Gierau, passed the committee on Monday in a 5-2 vote.
The legislation authorizes Wyoming to sell a square-mile Grand Teton National Park inholding to the National Park Service, though itâs saddled with a potential poison pill of an amendment that requires any sale must fetch $500,000 an acre.
