HB 36 – Hathaway Scholarship – Amendments

Support

Why It Matters: Every Wyoming community is experiencing a shortage of workers, including in the fields of health and childcare. This bill helps address the problem by expanding the Hathaway Scholarship to include non-certificate programs available through the community college system and the university, including a number that largely impact women such as public health and early childhood. This bill is an opportunity to build skills and build the strength of our communities.

HB 104 – Child Tax Credit

Support

Why It Matters: This bill reflects Wyoming's commitment to supporting hard working families as they strive to provide for their children. The bill would provide a $200 tax credit per child.

SF 103 – Terminating and Defunding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Oppose

Why It Matters: We must be honest with the fact that women and girls, especially women and girls of color, often face barriers that prohibit their hard work from being fully achieved. DEI programs provide an opportunity for girls to reach their full potential, and for all of us to learn about the the variety people and backgrounds that create our communities.

HB 122 – Senior Citizen Service Districts – Authorization and Renewal

Support

Why It Matters: As Wyoming's population continues to age, we must ensure our elders, the majority of whom are women, have a community in which they can engage and thrive. This bill allows that if a senior citizen district mill levy has been approved, it does not need to be renewed.
