A group of conservative members of the Wyoming House of Representatives says the recent special session of the Wyoming Legislature on a federal vaccine mandate fell short of expectations.<\/p>\n
That's according to Rep. Rachel Rodriguez-Williams [R-Park County], who posted a video on the House Freedom Caucus Facebook page. In her video, Rodriguez-Williams noted that the legislature only approved one bill. \"House Enrolled Act 1 is not enough,\" Rodriguez-Williams said in the video.<\/p>\n
She said that although the bill will provide resources and guidance for a court fight against the mandate \"This is not what the people wanted.\" She added, \"They wanted stronger legislation with exemptions, such as religious exemptions without a litmus test, medical exemptions approved by a physician, natural immunity, and prohibition on mandating authorization of emergency use vaccines.\"<\/p>\n
Rodriguez-Williams also noted that when the session adjourned, Governor Mark Gordon chose to address the house in a letter \"instead of standing before the body in person.\"<\/p>\n
She went on to say that while the governor said that litigation is not a matter of sounding off \"We believe that freedom does not come from litigation.\" She later added that there is a national effort underway to expand the powers of government and \"We need leaders to sound off.\"<\/p>\n
You can see the entire video below. The legislative session ran for a week in Cheyenne.<\/p>\n
Several bills aimed at such things as allowing parents to get exemptions upon request for their children from school face mask mandates and vaccine requirements and a range of other bills against various COVID-19 related mandates failed to win final approval in the special session.<\/p>\n
