Rodriguez-Williams sponsored House Bill 175, which would have required school districts to provide suicide awareness and prevention programs to Wyoming students grades six through 12. However, the bill died in the house.
While a state-owned office building was being constructed in Casper, Rodriguez-Williams voted in favor of a bill that would've named the building after former Wyoming representative John S. Wold. However, the bill failed in the house on a vote of 14–46, and the building was instead named after Thyra Thomson, who served as the Secretary of State of Wyoming from 1963 to 1987. The building is expected to be completed by Autumn 2021.
In 2023, Rodriguez-Williams sponsored H.B. 152, the Life Is a Human Right Act, which would make surgical and medication-assisted abortions illegal. She said that "other states are pushing an extreme abortion agenda, comparable to North Korea's and China's inhumane laws". The new law attempts to circumvent an interpretation of the Wyoming Constitution that protects citizens' "right to make one's own health care decisions", stating that "[i]nstead of being health care, abortion is the intentional termination of the life of an unborn baby."
Rodriguez-Williams is also a member of WYCAN, Wyoming Citizens Against Normalization, a group that is dedicated to the prohibition of cannabis products in Wyoming.
