    Governor takes action on 25 bills Thursday

    (Cheyenne, WY) – Governor Mark Gordon took action on 25 bills today, April 1st. Among the bills signed into law were two that the Governor enthusiastically supported –  House Bill 58 and Senate File 116.

    HB 58 allows the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources the flexibility to use more of their fees to offset recent budget reductions. State Parks saw a 36% increase in visitation last year and expects similar, higher visitation this year. The bill provides the agency with the ability to fund park maintenance and hire seasonal staff, improving the visitor experience.

    SF 116 will help the Wyoming Business Council Board of Directors operate more efficiently and increase engagement. Maximizing government efficiency was one of the goals highlighted by the Governor in his State of the State address and this piece of legislation furthers that goal.
