CHEYENNE (AP) — Developments on the 28th day of the 2011 General Session of the Wyoming Legislature, Thursday, Feb. 17, 2011:
MARRIAGE — The Senate for the second time approved a bill that would specify Wyoming wouldn't recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. The bill has already passed the House and would need one more Senate approval before going to the governor.
EDUCATION — The Senate for the second time approved a bill that would change the curriculum requirements in the Hathaway college scholarship program. Senators approved an amendment that provides a waiver for students who can't complete a requirement because their school did not make a particular course available.
MARIJUANA — The Senate for the second time approved to a bill that would specify Wyoming wouldn't recognize prescriptions for medical marijuana. It needs one more reading.
SPICE DRUGS — The House for the second time approved a bill that would outlaw drugs called "spice."
HUNTER EDUCATION — The House for the second time approved to a bill that would require school districts to offer hunter education classes to elementary school students.
ABORTION: A Senate committee recommended approval of a bill that would require doctors to inform their patients seeking an abortion that they have the right to see an ultrasound image of the fetus before the procedure. The bill has already passed the House and now goes to the Senate floor.
INVASIVE MUSSELS: The House for the second time passed a bill that would allow reciprocal agreements with neighboring states to set up a fee program for inspecting watercraft to halt the spread of invasive mussels in lakes and other bodies of water.
