CHEYENNE (AP) — Developments on the 36th day of the 2011 General Session of the Wyoming Legislature, Wednesday, March 2, 2011:
BUDGET — Gov. Matt Mead used his line-item veto to remove a $450,000 appropriation from the Legislature's supplemental budget bill that had been set aside to buy land for construction of a new governor's mansion. He stated that if he decides over the next year that the expenditure would be wise, other funds should be available.
CONCEALED CARRY — Mead signed into law a bill that will allow citizens to carry concealed handguns without a state permit starting in July.
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE — The Senate rejected a bill that would have specified that Wyoming would only recognize marriages between one man and one woman.
EMINENT DOMAIN — Mead signed into law a two-year extension of Wyoming's moratorium on using eminent domain powers for wind projects.
EDUCATION — The House gave final approval to a bill that would establish statewide standards for annual teacher evaluations. The bill now goes to Mead.
