special session

Harshman says the decision was made in part because of the lack of federal action.

Lawmakers accomplished their biggest goal.

Their top priority was preparing to disburse $1.25 billion in federal funding.

The State Constitution grants the Legislature 20 days for special session time, and the next one probably will be in late June.

Lawmakers have drafted five bills.

The full Legislature would then take up the measure during a special session next Friday and Saturday.

Most bars and sit-down restaurant dining establishments in Wyoming have been closed since March.

Lawmakers will work to create programs to help residents and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 emergency.

The Wyoming Legislature hasn’t met in a special session since 2004.

The session would be held to decide what to do with $1.25 billon in federal stimulus money coming to the state.
