The lawmaker opposes reducing penalties to a misdemeanor because failing to treat a viable baby born alive after an attempted abortion is a severe offense that should remain a felony.

In their own words
When Scott M Clem explained why
20 published reasons found for 2020.
Microbreweries.
The lawmaker supports the amendment because industry representatives spoke against previous versions and favored this transition approach, which he believes causes the least damage while setting policy standards.
The lawmaker supports the amendment because this represents a radical policy shift, and he believes it is necessary to limit coverage step-by-step rather than opening workers' compensation to all mental disorders.
The lawmaker opposes the amendment because removing the setbacks would allow windmills to be placed dangerously close to nuclear silos, ignoring military concerns.
The lawmaker opposes the amendment to maintain exemptions for young adults in protective services, arguing it is inconsistent to allow them to serve but not use tobacco.
Legislative sessions.
The lawmaker supports the project because the current facilities are outdated and inadequate to meet clinical learning standards as deemed by the American Bar Association.
The lawmaker leans toward supporting the bill because he wants the legislature to have a seat at the table in determining criteria for any potential land swap or purchase rather than letting the board decide alone.
The lawmaker supports the amendment to preserve existing language requiring physicians to check the prescription tracking program every three months for opioids, while allowing other practitioners flexibility based on best practice guidelines.
The lawmaker believes the bill is not ready because broadening the definition would unintentionally regulate personal devices like cell phones and laptops in long-term care facilities.
The lawmaker supports the amendment to close a legal loophole where employers could avoid paying wages by keeping employees working without shutting down operations or discharging them.
The lawmaker opposes the bill because creating a requirement for schools to track permission creates an unnecessary second registry alongside the existing public sex offender registry.
The lawmaker urges an aye vote because the funds can assist workers who lost pay, retirement benefits, and health insurance due to massive layoffs.
The lawmaker supports the bill because it limits government power and protects citizens from potential tyranny by ensuring they cannot be prosecuted for their digital expression.
The lawmaker supports the amendment because he believes community colleges are underfunded compared to the university and that a matching requirement provides an incentive similar to one used for athletics.
The lawmaker supports the amendment because taxpayer-funded facilities should not deny access to care based on an individual's immunization status or religious beliefs.
The lawmaker supports the amendment to address the structural deficit by directing savings from tourism funding toward education needs rather than creating a new special account.
The speaker supports the bill by citing personal experience with scale permits, arguing that users have a responsibility to pay their share since current fees do not cover actual costs.
The lawmaker opposes the bill because he believes Wyoming currently handles source disclosure correctly. He argues that an absolute shield law would prevent necessary disclosures required to pursue investigations.
County reserve accounts.
The lawmaker asks for a no vote, arguing that using special purpose taxes for reserve accounts is inappropriate since counties can already save money from their regular tax base.
The lawmaker reiterates support by stating modern technology allows reading rear plates and the bill would make the law uniform with existing exemptions for sports and antique cars.
