Legislature weekly roundup-Week 2

By House Rep. Jon Conrad

District No. 19

The House debated extensively on a number of matters including,

Suicide Prevention ­- I spoke in favor of HB0065 stating “Suicide not only impacts that person, but their families, their communities and their employers…Although we can debate the value of the money, I encourage all of us to think about our Wyoming values.” Permanent funding for the 988-lifeline had firm and vocal support, but others urged House members to reject the bill. Those of us in support continue to work on funding for this critical issue.
