CASPER, Wyo. (AP) Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon has announced plans to allocate recently received federal coronavirus relief aid toward education, health and social services and economic diversity and development.
The Republican governor has accounted for about $1 billion in funding from the American Rescue Plan, the Casper Star-Tribune reported. More than half of the amount was based on unemployment statistics.
Wyoming will also receive $360 million for education and $9 million for community health centers that cannot be reallocated. Unlike the federal relief aid from last year that had to be spent within months, states have more than three years to spend funding from the American Rescue Plan.

Montana voters passed an initiative during the 2020 General Election which made it legal for adults to possess up to an ounce of marijuana for personal use starting Jan. 1, 2020, according to Montana Free Press. While that initiative allowed residents to cultivate up to four marijuana plants per household, with Gianforte signing House Bill 701, residents will only be able to cultivate two plants per household.
