Title

Lawmaker Position

HB 116House 20252x

Strengthening National Security by Providing that Driver's Licenses Issued by Other States to Illegal Immigrants are Invalid.

With CEA
This bill stipulates that driver's licenses and driving operating privilege cards issued by other jurisdictions to unauthorized aliens are invalid in Wyoming. The bill also creates a new misdemeanor penalty for the use of a driver's license or driving operating privilege card by an illegal alien. This measure helps deter illegal immigration, which places an immense strain on U.S. infrastructure and taxpayer resources, ranging from welfare to the education system, while also creating serious national security and human trafficking issues.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, government has a responsibility to uphold the rule of law while promoting order and accountability. This bill reinforces lawful standards for driving privileges and supports a system rooted in fairness and respect for established legal processes.
Romans 13:1-4 – "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."
Leadership Insight
Government authority is legitimate only when it reflects God's design - to punish evil and reward good. Leaders submit to righteous authority but resist tyranny. Romans 13 is not a blank check for government overreach; it's a framework for godly governance rooted in justice.
HB 131House 20251x

Reducing Voter Fraud by Banning the Use of Drop Boxes for Absentee Ballots.

With CEA
This bill prohibits the use of drop boxes for the purpose of collection absentee ballots and stipulates that no person shall deliver an absentee ballot through any drop box. Maintaining safeguards to prevent voter fraud are critical aspects of ensuring free and fair elections, an essential component of democracy under our nation's constitutional republic.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Protecting the integrity of the voting process promotes trust, fairness, and respect for the rule of law entrusted to civil authorities.
Galatians 2:4 – "False believers infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves."
Leadership Insight
Not every ally defends liberty. Some enter to dilute conviction. Guarding freedom requires discernment - leaders must recognize deception disguised as tolerance.
HB 134House 20251x

Ensuring Taxpayer Funds Are Not Spent on "Sexually Explicit" Events.

With CEA
This bill prohibits the use of state or federal funds, personnel, facilities, or equipment to sponsor or contribute to a "sexually explicit event." Under the bill, a "sexually explicit event" is defined as any show, exhibition, or presentation before an audience that lewdly or lasciviously depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts, including drag shows. Age-appropriate sex education is exempted from the provisions of this bill.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, children should be protected from sexually explicit material that undermines innocence and moral development. Government appropriately serves the common good when it upholds standards that help families raise children in safe and wholesome environments.
Isaiah 61:1 – "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor..."
Leadership Insight
Anointing is not for comfort but for calling. The Spirit empowers leaders to speak truth when silence would be safer. Freedom begins when the anointed refuse to bow to fear.
HB 147House 20252x

Protecting Taxpayer Funds from Being Utilized for Politicized "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" (DEI) Programs and Training.

With CEA
This bill stipulates that no governmental entity shall engage in any DEI program, activities, or policies, engage in institutional discrimination, or require instruction promoting institutional discrimination. The bill also prohibits public entities from requiring any student, employee, or contractor to attend or participate in any DEI program or training. Taxpayer funds should not be utilized to push politicized initiatives that promote discrimination based on race, color, religion, or sex.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, individuals are created equal in dignity and worth, and government policies should not elevate or diminish a person based on immutable characteristics. This legislation affirms fairness, personal responsibility, and equal treatment while limiting government intrusion into decisions that should be guided by merit and moral integrity.
Galatians 3:28 – "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Leadership Insight
In Christ, economic opportunity transcends social categories - no person's worth or potential is determined by their background, class, or demographic. Economic freedom protects this biblical truth by ensuring all people can compete, create, and prosper based on capability rather than government-assigned categories. Policies that divide people into economic classes for preferential treatment or punishment contradict the gospel's declaration that all are one in Christ.
HB 156House 20252x

Strengthening Election Integrity by Requiring Proof of U.S. Citizenship.

With CEA
This bill stipulates that in order for an individual to be eligible to vote, the person must have been a resident of Wyoming for not less than 30 days before the date of the election the voter wishes to vote in. Additionally, voters must provide proof of U.S. citizenship; valid proof includes a U.S. passport, a certificate of U.S. citizenship, a certificate of naturalization, a Wyoming driver's license (that does not indicate that the person is a noncitizen), and more.
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Safeguarding the voting process while ensuring access for eligible citizens reflects integrity, fairness, and responsible stewardship of civil authority.
1 Peter 2:16 – "Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves."
Leadership Insight
Freedom without submission becomes rebellion. Godly leaders understand that liberty is strongest when anchored to righteousness. Submission to Christ secures freedom from corruption.
HB 164House 20252x

Strengthening Medical Freedom by Preventing Licensing Boards from Taking Adverse Action Against Doctors Prescribing and Pharmacists Dispensing Off-Label Drugs.

With CEA
This bill allows a doctor, physician assistant, dentist, optometrist, and advanced practice registered nurse to lawfully prescribe an FDA approved prescription drug for off-label indication. Off-label use refers to prescribing an approved drug for a condition other than those approved by the FDA. The bill also authorizes pharmacists to dispense off-label prescriptions and protects both prescribers and pharmacists from adverse action from any licensing board due to providing off-label medical treatments. The off-label allowance does not apply to certain controlled substances, medications intended to transition a minor's biological sex, or substances intended to induce an abortion.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, medical professionals are called to act with integrity, wisdom, and accountability in caring for others. This legislation supports ethical boundaries that protect families, patients, and the public while honoring the responsibility entrusted to healthcare providers.
Luke 10:34 – "He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine."
Leadership Insight
The Good Samaritan didn’t ask permission to help - he acted. Healthcare freedom protects the ability to serve without restriction or fear. Compassion cannot be regulated.
HB 165House 20251x

Strengthening Election Integrity by Banning the Use of Ranked Choice Voting in Wyoming Elections.

With CEA
This bill prohibits the use of ranked-choice voting in determining the election or nomination of any candidate in any local, state, or federal election. This ensures that the candidate receiving the largest number of votes wins, without mechanisms for ranking preferences or eliminating candidates in rounds.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Protecting the integrity of the voting process promotes trust, fairness, and respect for the rule of law entrusted to civil authorities.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20 – "Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you."
Leadership Insight
Moses commands impartial justice - judges who follow "justice alone" without showing partiality. First Freedom depends on courts that protect religious liberty impartially, without favoring secular ideology over sincere faith. When judges show partiality against religious conviction, accepting the cultural bribes of elite approval, they pervert the justice God demands. First Freedom requires judges who fear God more than cultural pressure.
HB 166House 20251x

Strengthening Government Transparency and Accountability by Ensuring Public Disclosure of State Auditor Payments.

With CEA
This bill requires the state auditor to publicly disclose detailed information about payments made to vendors on the state auditor's official website. The information must include the date of each payment, the vendor's name, the state agency requiring the purchased items or services, whose funds the payment is made from, the total amount paid, and a description of the payment. Vendor payment information must remain published on the website for at least 5 years.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship requires careful oversight and accountability in the use of public resources. Adding more transparency to government spending promotes honesty, accountability, and the responsible use of funds.
Deuteronomy 8:18 – "But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth."
Leadership Insight
Wealth is not a human achievement - it’s a divine assignment. God grants the power to create resources so His purposes can advance on earth. Prosperity becomes corruption when it forgets its Source.
HB 172House 20253x

Strengthening Self-Defense and the Second Amendment Rights by Repealing Most "Gun-Free Zones".

With CEA
This bill, the "Wyoming Repeal Gun Free Zones Act," repeals most "gun-free zones" in the state by allowing the lawful carrying of a concealed weapon in any meeting of a governmental entity and the Legislature, public school and university, certain areas of public airports, and any public building if not otherwise prohibited by law. The bill preempts the regulation of firearms by state agencies and other localities, while providing exceptions to allow for "gun-free zones" on private property, public school events where alcohol is served, and more.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, government should uphold justice and protect the right of individuals to defend themselves while maintaining order. Clear and consistent laws that respect lawful conduct help safeguard human dignity and reflect the proper, restrained role of civil authority.
Luke 22:36 – "He said to them, 'But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.'"
Leadership Insight
Jesus affirms the right to self-defense. Preparedness is not paranoia - it's stewardship of safety. Leaders who defend the Second Amendment defend the biblical principle that protection is both a right and a responsibility. Security begins with the citizen, not the state.
HB 177House 20251x

Combatting Federal Overreach by Ensuring Federal Actions Don't Violate State Sovereignty or Individual Liberties.

With CEA
This bill creates the federal review joint and standing committee, composed of 14 members of the legislature, to review any federal actions to determine if these actions are infringing upon "the sovereignty of the state of Wyoming" and the "powers, rights and liberties of its citizens." This includes federal laws, regulations, executive orders, and any other federal actions with the force of law. this bill provides a crucial safeguard to ensure states' rights and individual liberties are not violated through unconstitutional federal actions. It is not the role for any level of government to unduly infringe the rights of individuals, and ensuring protections against federal overreach is vital to protecting individual liberties under the U.S. Constitution.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, no single authority should exercise unchecked power over the people. This legislation promotes accountability and humility in governance by ensuring federal powers are balanced and restrained in a manner consistent with the Constitution and biblical principles of stewardship and justice.
1 Peter 2:16 – "Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves."
Leadership Insight
Freedom without submission becomes rebellion. Godly leaders understand that liberty is strongest when anchored to righteousness. Submission to Christ secures freedom from corruption.
HB 183House 20251x

Hiking Electricity Rates for Wyomingites by Allowing Utility Companies to Add Fees and Alter Rates on Net Metered Customers

Against CEA
This bill expands the size of solar installations that qualify for the state's "net metering" law which requires public utility companies to purchase any excess energy which is produced by homeowners or businesses through the solar panels they may own. The bill includes solar installations that generate up to 200 kilowatts (previously only 25 kilowatts) for nonresidential use. Net metering expansions indirectly subsidize "green" energy at the expense of traditional utilities or ratepayers, shifting costs to non-solar customers or undermining coal and oil.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship requires fairness and accountability, especially when families bear the cost of essential services. Policies that shift financial risk from large utilities to households undermine justice and place an undue burden on those least able to absorb higher costs.
Deuteronomy 17:14 – "The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself... He must not take many wives... He must not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites."
Leadership Insight
God limits leaders to protect them from pride, distraction, and corruption. Authority without accountability breeds tyranny. Leaders who embrace limits model humility and preserve their moral authority. Power is a gift, not a right to excess.
HB 1 (Amd. 2002)House 20251x

Expanding Cronyism by Hiking Awards to Workforce Development Programs Through WIP by $5 Million.

With CEA
The Chestek amendment #2002 to a bill containing general government appropriations increases from $15 million to $20 million an appropriation to fund Phase 3 of the Wyoming Innovation Partnership (WIP). This crony program provides taxpayer funds to workforce development, innovation, and research programs through partnerships with community colleges and public universities. It is not the proper role of government to attempt to centrally plan the workforce or engage in this type of interference within the private sector.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship calls for restraint, accountability, and respect for local decision-making. Expanding centralized workforce programs and spending authority risks displacing family, community, and employer-led solutions with government control.
Proverbs 11:1 – "The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with Him."
Leadership Insight
Integrity in business is not optional - it’s spiritual obedience. Every transaction reflects the character of the Kingdom. Honesty is Heaven’s currency for influence.
HB 1 (Amd. 2025)House 20251x

Forcing Taxpayers to Fund $3 Million in Scholarships for Female Student Athlete's Attending the University of Wyoming.

With CEA
The Chestek amendment #2025 to a bill containing general government appropriations appropriates $3 million to fund athletic scholarships for women in the University of Wyoming's athletic program. While it is a necessary role for government to provide quality K-12 education - ideally through school choice - college and university-level education should be funded through user fees (i.e. tuition) by those who wish to pursue their selected career path (regardless of their athletic prowess).
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship requires restraint and fairness in the use of public funds. Forcing taxpayers to fund college for select athletes risks misusing taxpayer resources and undermines principles of responsibility, equity, and limited government.
Proverbs 29:2 – "When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan."
Leadership Insight
Righteous economic leadership creates prosperity that lifts all people; wicked rulers impose taxation, regulation, and cronyism that make the people groan. Economic freedom flourishes under leaders who fear God and protect property rights. When government becomes extractive rather than protective, citizens suffer under the weight of policies designed to benefit the powerful rather than serve the productive.
HB 1 (Amd. 2040)House 20251x

Combatting Cronyism and Advancing Fiscal Responsibility by Repealing a $13 Million Appropriation to Aid in Constructing the "Wyoming State Shooting Complex".

Against CEA
The Schmid #2040 amendment to a bill containing general government appropriations. This amendment removes a $13 million appropriation for the development, siting, and construction of the Wyoming State Shooting Complex. The shooting complex is a proposed project that the legislature agreed to subsidize with $10 million in state funds in 2023. The amendment also removes language providing $500,000 from the game and fish fund for infrastructure to "support hunter safety and other wildlife conservation education programs" held at the complex. The private sector - not the government - is best equipped to boost economic growth by directing capital to the most promising investment initiatives. Lawmakers should instead lower tax rates and reduce regulations for all businesses to encourage development in the state.
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
1 Samuel 8:10-18 – "Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, 'This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots... He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants... and you yourselves will become his slaves'"
Leadership Insight
Centralized power always demands sacrifice from the people. God warned Israel that human kings would grow government at the expense of liberty. Limited government protects freedom; expansive government enslaves. Leaders must resist the temptation to control what they should serve.
HB 200House 20252x

Strengthening Parental Rights by Requiring Consent for DEI Trainings and Expanding Requirements on Parent Notification of Student Health and Well-Being.

With CEA
This bill strengthens parental rights and protects free speech through numerous provisions. Firstly, the bill expands existing notification requirements, stipulating that no school policy or rule can discourage personnel from notifying parents upon a change in their student's education, physical, mental, or emotional health, or well-being. Notices must be done during school hours or while the student is engaged in a school-related activity. The bill also allows for employees to opt-out of activities or trainings on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and requires schools to adopt policies ensuring that both employees and students are not forced to refer to a student's preferred pronoun that does not align with the student's biological sex. Lastly, guardians must be notified of any school activity regarding DEI, sexual orientation, or gender identity and be provided the option to opt their child out of attendance.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, parents are entrusted with the responsibility to guide their children’s moral and educational development. Requiring parental consent for sensitive instruction honors family authority, protects conscience, and reflects the proper, limited role of government in education.
2 Timothy 1:7 – "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."
Leadership Insight
God doesn’t call the timid - He transforms them. Courage and compassion are not opposites; they are evidence of divine strength. Power without love destroys; love without power retreats.
HB 206House 20251x

Strengthening Election Integrity Through New Photo Requirement on Voter Identification.

With CEA
This bill strengthens election integrity by requiring valid voter identification to include a photograph of the voter. The bill also repeals provisions allowing the use of a Medicaid or Medicare card as valid voter identification in the state, as neither include photographs of the individual.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Protecting the integrity of the voting process promotes trust, fairness, and respect for the rule of law entrusted to civil authorities.
1 Peter 2:16 – "Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves."
Leadership Insight
Freedom without submission becomes rebellion. Godly leaders understand that liberty is strongest when anchored to righteousness. Submission to Christ secures freedom from corruption.
HB 207House 20253x

Protecting Religious Liberties by Strengthening Protection Through the "Compelling Interest Test".

With CEA
This bill, the "Wyoming Religious Freedom Restoration Act," is designed to protect religious liberties by adopting the federal "compelling interest test." Under the bill, the government is prohibited from substantially burdening a person's right to the exercise of religion unless it can demonstrate it is essential to further compelling government interest and is the least restriction means of doing so. The bill creates a civil cause of action against violators; victims may obtain appropriate relief, including injunctive and declaratory relief.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, Christians should not be forced to suppress their Constitutional right to practice their faith. This legislation upholds religious freedom, human dignity, and the First Amendment protections affirmed by the Supreme Court, by ensuring that Christians can honor God in without unjust restriction or fear of reprisal.
Acts 16:25 – "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them."
Leadership Insight
Worship is rebellion against despair. When leaders praise in the dark, walls begin to fall. Influence flows from those who glorify God when others give up.
HB 222House 20251x

Protecting Religious Liberties of Healthcare Providers and Insurers by Establishing a Right of Medical Conscience and Refusal.

With CEA
This bill, the "Medical Ethics Defense Act," protects the ability of health care providers and insurers to refuse to pay for or provide services based on moral or religious objections. Specifically, the bill stipulates that no person or entity, including the state and its political subdivisions, shall discriminate against any health care professional, institution, or payer for exercising the right not to participate in or pay for health care services that violate the right of conscience.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, medical professionals are called to act with integrity, wisdom, and accountability in caring for others. This legislation supports ethical boundaries that protect families, patients, and the public while honoring the responsibility entrusted to healthcare providers.
Luke 8:43-48 – "And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped."
Leadership Insight
Faith moves when systems fail. This woman sought healing through personal action when no medical solution existed. Healthcare freedom means protecting access to faith-based healing and personal choice without government interference. Jesus honored her initiative.
HB 223House 20251x

Protecting Free Speech by Establishing Immunity for Engaging in Rights Protected by the First Amendment.

With CEA
This bill stipulates that all laws in the state shall be interpreted to grant qualified immunity from suit, prosecution, and civil liability for any person in any action, case, claim, or other legal process that impacts the person's constitutional rights protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. constitution. The bill outlines specific procedures for invoking this immunity, including the ability to appeal any denial of a motion to dismiss. This measure helps strengthen free speech and assembly rights as protected under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, the ability to speak truthfully and participate in public discourse without fear of intimidation is essential to a just society. This bill protects individuals from abusive legal tactics and upholds the foundational freedoms that allow communities to engage openly and responsibly in matters of public concern.
Acts 4:19-20 – "Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
Leadership Insight
When truth is silenced, darkness prevails. The apostles refused to edit their message for cultural comfort. Faithful leaders must speak what God says, even when it costs influence.
HB 228House 20251x

Increasing Election Integrity by Prohibiting Private Funds for Election Administration.

With CEA
This bill prohibits outside groups from funding the administration of election operations. Privately funding election operations introduces serious concerns over their integrity and fairness of election outcomes, an essential component of democracy under our nation's constitutional republic.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Protecting the integrity of the voting process promotes trust, fairness, and respect for the rule of law entrusted to civil authorities.
Galatians 2:4 – "False believers infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves."
Leadership Insight
Not every ally defends liberty. Some enter to dilute conviction. Guarding freedom requires discernment - leaders must recognize deception disguised as tolerance.
HB 273House 20253x

Protecting Life by Preventing the Government from Forcing Pregnancy Centers to Perform Abortions.

With CEA
This bill strengthens medical freedom and protects life by prohibiting the state, its political subdivisions, and localities from forcing pregnancy centers to offer or perform abortions, distribute abortion-inducing drugs or contraception, or to counsel in favor of abortion or contraception. The bill also prohibits a public entity from restricting the services provided by a pregnancy center, such as counseling related to pregnancy or parenting, prenatal and postnatal resources, or pregnancy or childbirth medical testing. Individuals and businesses should not be forced to provide services that violate their beliefs. All abortions are tragedies and every child deserves the right to life.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, unborn life is sacred and deserving of protection. Public policy should honor God’s design with laws that uphold justice, affirm the value of life, and ensure the law does not enable harm to the most vulnerable.
Psalm 139:13-16 – "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Leadership Insight
David declares that God forms every person in the womb - a truth that shapes First Freedom's protection of religious pro-life conviction. Believers who hold that life begins at conception must be free to operate hospitals, businesses, and ministries according to this conviction. First Freedom protects religious organizations from being forced to fund, perform, or participate in abortion against their sincere belief that God is the Author of life from conception.
HB 289House 20252x

Protecting Seniors' Access to Healthcare and Reducing Costs by Repealing Anti-Competitive "Certificate of Need" Regulations Imposed on Nursing Homes.

With CEA
This bill repeals the state's final certificate of need (CON) restrictions that were imposed on nursing care facilities and hospitals. CON laws limit the construction and expansion of healthcare and nursing homes, forcing health care providers to prove there is a need for their services in order to construct new or expand existing facilities.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, economic vitality is best fostered through personal initiative, entrepreneurship, and local decision-making rather than expanded government control. Creating additional bureaucratic layers risks undermining stewardship, accountability, and the proper limits of government authority.
2 Corinthians 9:6 – "Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously."
Leadership Insight
Kingdom economics runs on sowing, not hoarding. Leaders who sow generously into God’s purposes never run dry. The size of your harvest mirrors the size of your heart.
HB 307House 20251x

Strengthening Election Integrity by Expanding Poll Watcher Access to Include Observing Final Vote Counting.

With CEA
This bill contains several provisions designed to strengthen election integrity by expanding poll watcher access. Notably, the bill ensures that poll watchers be able to be present after the polls are officially declared closed to observe vote counting. The bill also stipulates that poll watchers cannot be prevented from observing "all activities and processes" at polling places and cannot be restricted to a chair.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Protecting the integrity of the voting process promotes trust, fairness, and respect for the rule of law entrusted to civil authorities.
Psalm 119:45 – "I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out Your precepts."
Leadership Insight
Freedom is not found in self-expression but in divine direction. God’s Word is not a restriction - it’s the path that keeps liberty alive. Leaders anchored in Scripture walk in stability while others stumble in confusion.
HB 318House 20251x

Strengthening Election Integrity by Ensuring Non-Citizens Are Not Voting in Elections.

With CEA
This bill expands the ability to maintain the accuracy of voter lists by authorizing the secretary of state and the department of transportation (DOT) to enter into any agreement to determine if any evidence exists of non-citizens is kept within driver's license records, if a voter has recently receive a driver's license from another state, or to verify any other information indicating a voter should be ineligible to vote in the state. The bill allows the utilization of the systematic alien verification for entitlements (SAVE) program operated by federal citizenship and immigration services to verify that all voters are U.S. citizens, while also requiring the DOT to report to the secretary of state a complete list of all individuals who have indicated they are non-citizens when obtaining any document.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Safeguarding the voting process while ensuring access for eligible citizens reflects integrity, fairness, and responsible stewardship of civil authority.
Psalm 119:45 – "I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out Your precepts."
Leadership Insight
Freedom is not found in self-expression but in divine direction. God’s Word is not a restriction - it’s the path that keeps liberty alive. Leaders anchored in Scripture walk in stability while others stumble in confusion.
HB 32House 20252x

Confirming Biological Reality by Clarifying "Sex" is Based on Biological Sex.

With CEA
This bill clarifies various legal definitions, defining "sex" as the biological distinction between male and female based on reproductive biology and genetic make-up. The bill also creates definitions for female, male, woman, girl, man, boy, mother, and father. Finally, the bill provides that rules and regulations related to "distinctions between the sexes" for purposes such as athletics, locker rooms, and restrooms that result in separate accommodations between the sexes are substantially related to the important governmental objectives of protecting the health, safety and privacy of persons in such circumstances.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, Scripture affirms that God created two sexes, male and female, and this truth is not subject to government redefinition. Public policy should honor God’s design and protect individuals from being forced to deny moral and biological reality.
Deuteronomy 22:5 – "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this."
Leadership Insight
God's design for gender is intentional, not arbitrary. Leaders who defend biological truth protect the foundation of family, identity, and society. Cultural pressure to erase distinctions does not change divine design. Clarity about gender honors God's created order.
HB 323House 20251x

Promoting Self-Sufficiency and Healthy Choices by Prohibiting the Use of SNAP Benefits to Purchase Candy and Soda.

With CEA
This bill requires the director of the department of family services to request a waiver from the federal department of agriculture to exclude candy and soft drinks from eligible foods to purchase using benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP).
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, public assistance programs should reflect wise stewardship and promote the well-being of individuals and families. Encouraging the responsible use of food benefits for nutritious options supports both physical health and faithful management of resources entrusted to government.
Luke 16:11 – "If you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?"
Leadership Insight
Earthly wealth is a test for eternal responsibility. God promotes those who handle finances as ministry, not mastery. Stewardship today prepares leaders for Kingdom influence tomorrow.
HB 341House 20251x

Growing Government Dependency and Fueling Out-of-Control Spending by Expanding Child Nutrition Benefits.

With CEA
This bill requires state participation in the federal summer electronic benefit transfer (EBT) program to continue access to benefits of eligible households, designed to replace free and reduced-price lunches when children aren't in school. The bill authorizes new positions in the Department of Family Services to administer the program and appropriates $1.14 million in state funds to match federal dollars. This measure further grows government dependency, which oftentimes leads to intergenerational poverty.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, compassion for those in need should be paired with accountability and policies that encourage independence and responsibility. Expanding entitlement programs without clear limits risks fostering dependency and placing additional burdens on families and taxpayers, rather than strengthening community-based care and support.
2 Thessalonians 3:10 – "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat."
Leadership Insight
God honors productivity, not passivity. Work is not punishment - it’s purpose. A culture that rewards laziness erodes dignity and independence.

Protecting Life and the Safety of Women Through Increased Oversight of Abortion Providers by Requiring Licensure of Surgical Abortion Facilities.

With CEA
This bill is designed to protect life, providing necessary oversight of surgical abortion facilities by requiring these facilities to be licensed as an ambulatory surgical center. As a result, facilities that provide abortions using surgery or other medical tools must meet the rules established by the Wyoming Department of Health and are prohibited from providing abortions to pregnant women without first being licensed. The bill also requires facility physicians to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and report each abortion to the department of health. All abortions are tragedies, and every child deserves the right to life.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, unborn life is sacred and deserving of protection. Public policy should honor God’s design with laws that uphold justice, affirm the value of life, and ensure the law does not enable harm to the most vulnerable.
Psalm 139:13-16 – "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Leadership Insight
David declares that God forms every person in the womb - a truth that shapes First Freedom's protection of religious pro-life conviction. Believers who hold that life begins at conception must be free to operate hospitals, businesses, and ministries according to this conviction. First Freedom protects religious organizations from being forced to fund, perform, or participate in abortion against their sincere belief that God is the Author of life from conception.

Reducing a Barrier to School Choice by Removing Onerous Reporting Requirements Imposed on Homeschooling.

With CEA
This bill expands school choice by removing the requirement for parents or individuals administering a "home-based education program" to annually submit their homeschool curriculum to local school districts.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, expanding access to quality educational options respects the role of parents as primary decision-makers in their children’s upbringing. Policies that encourage accountability, opportunity, and freedom in education align with biblical principles of stewardship and responsibility.
Acts 4:19-20 – "Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
Leadership Insight
When truth is silenced, darkness prevails. The apostles refused to edit their message for cultural comfort. Faithful leaders must speak what God says, even when it costs influence.
HB 5House 20252x

Harming the Fishing Industry by Regulating Commercially Guided Fishing Boats.

With CEA
This bill authorizes the game and fish commission to regulate commercially guided fishing boats and establishes an advisory board appointed by the commission to provide recommendations for rules and restrictions. Beginning in 2026, registration and payment of an annual fee must be required. One lawmaker claimed that this measure is likely the start of a long process "to reign in Wyoming's commercial fishing industry."
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, excessive regulation can hinder honest work and stewardship by placing unnecessary burdens on businesses and workers. Limited government that respects personal responsibility and economic freedom best allows individuals and communities to flourish while still prioritizing safety.
Genesis 9:1-3 – "Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.'"
Leadership Insight
God's command to "be fruitful and increase" includes economic multiplication and resource stewardship. The Creator entrusted humanity with natural resources for provision and prosperity, not scarcity and control. Economic freedom flows from divine mandate - leaders who protect property rights and free enterprise honor God's design for human flourishing through responsible dominion.
HB 60House 20251x

Ensuring Fair Competition in by Expanding Prohibitions of Biological Males Competing in Female Competitions.

With CEA
This bill further ensures fair competition by expanding existing law that prohibits biological males from competing in female athletics. Under current law, the prohibition applies only to athletes in grades 7-12. This bill extends the law to include K-6, by redefining "school" as K-12. Additionally, the bill expands protections that limit the ability of a government entity or athletic association from retaliating against schools and students that uphold the law, and prohibits schools from participating in an athletic activity for females against a school that has a biological male on the team. Lastly, the bill stipulates that the ban on biological males in female athletics applies to Wyoming Community colleges and the University of Wyoming. This measure further protects the competitiveness of women's sports by ensuring females are not forced to compete against biological men. This requirement represents one of many restrictions (including height, weight, and age requirements) to ensure fair competition.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, God created humanity male and female, establishing a clear and unchanging design rooted in truth and human dignity. Government should respect this biological and biblical reality and refrain from compelling policies or speech that deny God’s created order.
Deuteronomy 22:5 – "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this."
Leadership Insight
God's design for gender is intentional, not arbitrary. Leaders who defend biological truth protect the foundation of family, identity, and society. Cultural pressure to erase distinctions does not change divine design. Clarity about gender honors God's created order.
HB 63House 20251x

Combatting Government Overreach by Preventing Localities from Enacting Bans on "Working Animals".

With CEA
This bill is designed to prevent local government overreach and protect rodeos in the state by prohibiting a locality from terminating, banning, or unduly restricting a person from using a "working animal" in lawful commerce or an animal enterprise. While there is a role for government to combat animal abuse, individuals who humanely treat animals should not be barred from participating in rodeos or other commercial services which involve animals.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, excessive regulation can hinder honest work and stewardship by placing unnecessary burdens on businesses and workers. Limited government that respects personal responsibility and economic freedom best allows individuals and communities to flourish while still prioritizing safety.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on those who issue oppressive decrees - regulations, mandates, and compliance requirements that crush businesses and deprive workers of opportunity. Operational freedom fights the bureaucratic oppression that kills small businesses, prevents entrepreneurship, and protects established interests at the expense of new entrants. When licensing laws, zoning restrictions, and regulatory burdens make it impossible for the poor to start businesses, government becomes the oppressor Isaiah condemns.

Protecting Life by Requiring an Ultrasound at Least 48 Hours Before a Chemical Abortion is Performed or Drugs are Dispensed.

With CEA
This bill requires an ultrasound at least 48 hours before a chemical abortion is performed or drugs are dispensed for the chemical abortion. The woman must also have the opportunity to view the ultrasound and hear the heartbeat, if present. All abortions are tragedies and every child deserves the right to life.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, unborn life is sacred and deserving of protection. Public policy should honor God’s design with laws that uphold justice, affirm the value of life, and ensure the law does not enable harm to the most vulnerable.
Psalm 139:13-16 – "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

First Freedom protects religious organizations from being forced to fund, perform, or participate in abortion against their sincere belief that God is the Author of life from conception.
HB 72House 20252x

Protecting Privacy and Safety by Designating All Restrooms, Changing Facilities, and Sleeping Quarters by Biological Sex.

With CEA
This bill stipulates that each multi-occupancy restroom, changing area, and sleeping quarters that are located in a public facility or higher education facility must be designed exclusively for biological males or exclusively for biological females. Under the bill, "public facilities" include facilities owned, operated, or leased by a state or local government entity and "educational facilities" are those owned, operated, or leased by the University of Wyoming or a state community college. The bill provides a cause of action against any governmental entity that violates these provisions.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, this legislation affirms the inherent dignity of every human and the moral responsibility to protect their privacy and safety. Clear standards rooted in biological reality help ensure that environments remain places of trust, order, and respect consistent with biblical principles.
Deuteronomy 22:5 – "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this."
Leadership Insight
God's design for gender is intentional, not arbitrary. Leaders who defend biological truth protect the foundation of family, identity, and society. Cultural pressure to erase distinctions does not change divine design. Clarity about gender honors God's created order.
HB 75House 20252x

Reducing the Price of Coal by Lowering the Severance Tax from 6.5% to 6%.

With CEA
This bill reduces the existing severance tax rate imposed on surface-mined coal from 6.5% to 6%. All state and local tax codes should be constructed in a broadly applied manner with the lowest rates possible for everyone. This bill provides slight relief to coal producers and supports investment in mining operations in the state.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, families are better stewards of their resources than the state. Allowing taxpayers to keep more of their income when revenues are strong promotes responsibility, generosity, and respect for the proper limits of government.
Luke 16:10-11 – "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?"
Leadership Insight
Jesus connects economic stewardship to spiritual trustworthiness. Economic freedom is built on this principle: individuals who manage small resources faithfully should be trusted with more - not have government confiscate their increase through taxation or redistribute their success. When government punishes productive stewardship through progressive taxation, it contradicts Christ's teaching that faithful management of "very little" qualifies you for "much." Economic freedom rewards faithful stewardship.
HB 79 (Veto Override)House 20251x

Protecting Taxpayers from Low-Turnout Bond Approvals.

With CEA
This bill modifies election laws by requiring a minimum voter turnout threshold for bond elections, which are public votes on issuing bonds for projects like schools or infrastructure, if held on a date other than a general election day. Under the bill, bond elections must not only receive a majority of votes in favor of the proposal to pass, but the total number of ballots cast must equal at least 25% plus 1 of the number of electors who voted in the previous general election. If the proposal fails to meet the threshold, the bond may be brought at the next general election. This measure helps protect taxpayers from unsound fiscal policies dictated by a small number of voters by ensuring that bond proposals reflect the will of a substantial portion of the electorate.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship requires careful oversight and accountability in the use of public resources. Ensuring broad representation in the election process guards against government agencies misusing funds and going into further debt for unwanted projects.
Romans 13:8 – "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another."
Leadership Insight
Financial independence begins with spiritual obedience. Debt enslaves; love liberates. God calls His people to relationships rooted in generosity, not control.
HB 94 (Veto Override)House 20253x

Improving Educational Outcomes and Expanding School Choice by Authorizing Additional Charter Schools.

With CEA
This bill allows the state charter school authorizing board to authorize any number of charter schools, eliminating the cap on charter schools that may be authorized by an entity other than a school district board (previously 3). This bill improves educational outcomes for all students by fostering competition and a market in education, which encourages schools to provide the best education so they can attract parents to enroll their child and receive the associated funding.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, expanding access to quality educational options respects the role of parents as primary decision-makers in their children’s upbringing. Policies that encourage accountability, opportunity, and freedom in education align with biblical principles of stewardship and responsibility.
Matthew 20:13-15 – "But he answered one of them, 'I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'"
Leadership Insight
Jesus affirms the landowner's absolute right to manage his property without external interference. Economic freedom is rooted in the biblical principle that owners - not governments or envious neighbors - determine how resources are allocated. Leaders who defend property rights protect the foundation of free enterprise: voluntary agreements honored without coercion.
SF 107House 20251x

Infringing Private Contracting Rights and Reducing Employment Opportunities by Banning Noncompetition Agreements.

Against CEA
This bill prohibits and voids nearly all noncompetition agreements in the state, including agreements involving physicians, with few exceptions. This bill imposes a new government mandate that infringes on the private contracting rights of employers and employees.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, agreements freely entered into by consenting parties should generally be honored when they are lawful and transparent. This bill broadly overrides private contractual arrangements, limiting the ability of individuals and businesses to structure agreements according to mutual consent and legitimate interests.
Matthew 20:13-15 – "But he answered one of them, 'I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'"
Leadership Insight
Jesus validates voluntary employment agreements between workers and employers. Workforce freedom protects the right of both parties to negotiate terms without union coercion, government wage mandates, or third-party interference. The workers agreed to a denarius - and that agreement was fair. Freedom in the workforce means honoring contracts and rejecting forced collectivism.
SF 10 (Amd. 2001)House 20251x

Increasing Spending Through a $3.86 Million Appropriation to Medicaid "Home and Community-Based Services".

Against CEA
The Angelos amendment #2001 to a bill regarding parental authorization of settlement agreements for minors inserts a $3.86 million appropriation from the general fund (to match $3.86 million in federal funds) to the department of health for payments to home and community-based service providers in the health care financing program.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, compassion for those in need should be paired with accountability and policies that encourage independence and responsibility. Expanding entitlement programs without clear limits risks fostering dependency and placing additional burdens on families and taxpayers, rather than strengthening community-based care and support.
Isaiah 55:2 – "Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare."
Leadership Insight
God questions spending on what fails to nourish or satisfy. Healthcare freedom means rejecting one-size-fits-all mandates that force individuals and employers into systems that violate conscience or fail to meet real needs. Leaders who protect healthcare choice allow families and businesses to pursue treatments, coverage, and providers aligned with their values - "eating what is good" rather than consuming what government prescribes.
SF 113House 20251x

Strengthening Workforce Freedom by Exempting "Natural Hair Braiders" from Licensure.

With CEA
This bill amends the state's cosmetology license, eliminating the licensing and registration requirements for an individual to perform "natural hair braiding." The private sector, via certifications, rating systems, and the free market, is much better equipped to provide consumer protection while also ensuring competition and low consumer costs.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, this bill supports the dignity of work by empowering individuals and families to provide for themselves through honest enterprise. Reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens aligns with biblical principles of self-reliance, stewardship, and caring for one’s household.
Proverbs 14:23 – "All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty."
Leadership Insight
God blesses action more than intention. Productivity is not greed - it’s stewardship. Words build ideas; work builds Kingdom impact.
SF 120House 20251x

Increasing Food Freedom by Allowing the Sale of Local Meat Products Without Burdensome Inspections.

With CEA
This bill amends the Wyoming Food Freedom Act to allow the sale of certain uninspected meat products. This expands opportunities for small-scale, local meat producers by allowing the sale of producer-raised, homemade meat products under certain conditions. This includes meat from cattle, sheep, swine, and goats, and the animals must be raised in the state and slaughtered on the producer's property or at a "custom slaughter facility" (facilities with no state or federal inspector). The products may only be sold directly to consumers and must include a warning that the meat was not inspected.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest work and providing for one’s family should not be hindered by unnecessary regulatory barriers. Excessive licensing and government control over trades can limit opportunity and undermine the dignity of work, rather than promoting responsibility and fairness.
1 Samuel 8:10-18 – "Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, 'This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots... He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants... and you yourselves will become his slaves'"
Leadership Insight
Centralized power always demands sacrifice from the people. God warned Israel that human kings would grow government at the expense of liberty. Limited government protects freedom; expansive government enslaves. Leaders must resist the temptation to control what they should serve.

Protecting the Lives of the Unborn by Affirming that Abortion is Not Health Care.

With CEA
This bill asserts that abortion is not health care, with exceptions in cases of rape, incest, or to save the mother's life. All abortions are tragedies and every child deserves the right to life.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, unborn life is sacred and deserving of protection. Public policy should honor God’s design with laws that uphold justice, affirm the value of life, and ensure the law does not enable harm to the most vulnerable.
Psalm 139:13-16 – "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Leadership Insight
David declares that God forms every person in the womb - a truth that shapes First Freedom's protection of religious pro-life conviction. Believers who hold that life begins at conception must be free to operate hospitals, businesses, and ministries according to this conviction. First Freedom protects religious organizations from being forced to fund, perform, or participate in abortion against their sincere belief that God is the Author of life from conception.

Strengthening Government Accountability by Providing Oversight of Administrative Rules Significantly Impacting the State's Economy.

With CEA
This bill requires the Legislative Service Office to review and conduct a regulatory impact analysis on each major rule submitted by state agencies. Under the bill, "major rules" are administrative rules or emergency rules that will or may have an annual impact on the state economy with costs of at least $1 million or significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, and innovation in the state. This measure combats overreaching rules imposed by unelected bureaucrats that restrict competition, discourage innovation, and increase consumer costs.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, authority should be exercised with accountability, humility, and restraint. Ensuring that major regulations are subject to transparent review promotes justice, stewardship, and respect for the proper limits of government power.
Luke 16:11 – "If you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?"
Leadership Insight
Earthly wealth is a test for eternal responsibility. God promotes those who handle finances as ministry, not mastery. Stewardship today prepares leaders for Kingdom influence tomorrow.
SF 143House 20251x

Increasing Public Investment Returns by Allowing Credit Unions to Hold Public Funds.

With CEA
This bill allows credit unions to qualify as qualified public depositories (QPDs), which was previously limited to just banks. This bill expands competition among financial institutions, providing greater returns on investment funds. All public investment actions should be based on producing the maximum return and value for taxpayers.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, wise stewardship of public resources is a moral responsibility. Allowing qualified credit unions to compete for public deposits can help maximize returns on taxpayer funds while maintaining prudent safeguards, reflecting responsible management of resources entrusted to government.
Luke 16:10-11 – "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?"
Leadership Insight

Economic freedom is built on this principle: individuals who manage small resources faithfully should be trusted with more - not have government confiscate their increase through taxation or redistribute their success.

Imposing New Mandates on Agreements Between Dental Insurers and Providers.

Against CEA
This bill imposes a series of new restrictions and requirements onto agreements between dental insurers and dental care providers. Notably, the bill prohibits a contracting entity from granting third party access to a network contract or to a dental care provider's service prices unless certain conditions are met, such as allowing the provider to opt-out and providing a list of all participating third parties. Contracting entities are prohibited from terminating a contractual relationship with a dental provider because the provider refuses to allow third party access. The bill also bans an insurer from requiring payments be made to a dental provider solely by virtual credit card payments and mandates that providers must be given alternative payment methods that do not impose additional fees or transaction costs. This bill utilizes the power of government to interfere in private contracting agreements to provide more favorable outcomes to one party (providers) over another party (dental care insurers).
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, voluntary agreements entered into freely and transparently should be respected without unnecessary government intrusion. This bill places additional mandates on private contracts, limiting the ability of parties to structure agreements according to mutual consent and market conditions.
Matthew 20:13-15 – "But he answered one of them, 'I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'"
Leadership Insight
Jesus upholds the principle that individuals have the right to allocate their resources according to their own judgment - including healthcare decisions. Healthcare freedom means employers and individuals choose coverage, providers, and treatments without government mandates dictating how health dollars are spent. The landowner's authority over his vineyard mirrors the family's authority over their healthcare choices.

Reducing Business Payroll Tax Rates by Lowering Payouts Under the State's Unemployment Benefit System.

Against CEA
This bill reduces the maximum amount of annual unemployment benefits a person may receive from 26 to 20 times their weekly benefit. Shortening benefit periods encourages faster reemployment and reduces long-term draws on the unemployment trust fund.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, work is a meaningful and dignified calling that supports individuals, families and communities. By reinforcing the temporary nature of unemployment benefits and encouraging timely reentry into the workforce, this bill promotes responsibility, stewardship and human flourishing.
Ephesians 2:10 – "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works."
Leadership Insight
Every believer is divinely designed for impact. Work isn’t punishment - it’s purpose. God prepared your assignment long before your first day.

Reining in the Use of Eminent Domain to Seize Property for Energy Collector Systems.

With CEA
This bill strengthens private property rights by imposing new requirements onto energy collector systems wishing to exercise eminent domain. Specifically, the bill requires energy companies to either acquire 66% of the entire land area or 66% of the landowners, before they would have the ability to use eminent domain. Additionally, the bill implements minimum compensation to be paid to property owners and stipulates that any improvements to the property shall be included in its fair market value. Using an existing easement to place additional energy collector systems is prohibited, unless certain requirements are met, and any order allowing placement of energy collector systems must include liability and reclamation clauses. This measure is a step in the right director to maintain strong property right protections, which is an essential component of ensuring a free and prosperous society.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, private property is a stewardship entrusted to individuals and families and should not be taken unjustly. Limiting eminent domain honors biblical principles of justice, restraint, and respect for the rights of landowners.
Leviticus 25:10 – "Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan."
Leadership Insight
The Year of Jubilee proclaimed economic liberty - restoration of property, cancellation of debts, and freedom from bondage. Economic freedom follows this biblical pattern: protecting property rights, enabling debt relief through bankruptcy rather than permanent servitude, and ensuring families can rebuild wealth across generations. Government policies that permanently trap families in poverty, extract generational wealth through death taxes, or prevent property ownership contradict Jubilee's vision of economic restoration.
SF 191House 20251x

Protecting Taxpayers by Prohibiting ESG Considerations in Investment of State Funds.

With CEA
This bill prohibits the consideration of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) in state investment strategies, including for the state pension system. Votes for investments may only based on pecuniary (financial) factors. ESG is a vehicle for imposing progressive ideologies on businesses, prioritizing social justice, environmental activism, and "woke" causes over maximizing shareholder returns.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, this bill guards against the imposition of ideological standards that can unfairly burden families and businesses. Ensuring that investment decisions are accountable and transparent reflects biblical values of fairness, honesty, and responsible governance.
Psalm 90:17 – "May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands."
Leadership Insight
Effort becomes impact only when touched by God’s favor. Leaders labor wisely when they invite Heaven’s blessing into their work. Favor transforms toil into testimony.

Increasing Taxpayer Costs by Subjecting Less Government Procurement to Competitive Bidding.

Against CEA
This bill expands the water, irrigation, and sewer district public works projects that are exempt from competitive, sealed bidding requirements by increasing the project cost thresholds up to $75,000. Specifically, the bill requires competitive bids for projects handled by irrigation districts with a cost over $75,000 (previously $7,500) and projects handled by water and sewer districts with a cost over $75,000 (previously $30,000). Contracts related to irrigation works, power plants or systems, and the purchase of materials and machinery must meet bid requirements if the estimated cost of the project exceeds $20,000 (previously $1,000).
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship requires careful oversight and accountability in the use of public resources. Granting more spending flexibility to government agencies with less transparency risks misuse of funds and undermines responsible governance.
Haggai 1:6 – "You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."
Leadership Insight
When priorities drift from purpose, prosperity leaks away. God doesn’t bless motion - He blesses alignment. Economic freedom begins when stewardship follows divine order.
SF 48House 20253x

Providing Broad Tax Relief by Increasing the Business Property Tax Exemption.

With CEA
This bill exempts business property from the state's property tax if the total fair market value of the property owned by the business is less than or equal to $75,000 (previously $2,400). This measure provides broadly applied tax relief to all businesses without carve-outs for government-favored industries or select entities.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, families are better stewards of their resources than the state. Allowing taxpayers to keep more of their income when revenues are strong promotes responsibility, generosity, and respect for the proper limits of government.
Matthew 20:13-15 – "But he answered one of them, 'I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'"
Leadership Insight
Jesus affirms the landowner's absolute right to manage his property without external interference. Economic freedom is rooted in the biblical principle that owners - not governments or envious neighbors - determine how resources are allocated. Leaders who defend property rights protect the foundation of free enterprise: voluntary agreements honored without coercion.
