Attorney general-elected.

Wyoming's HB 60 changes how the state's attorney general is selected, shifting from a gubernatorial appointment to a statewide elected position. Starting with the 2026 general election, the attorney general will be elected for a four-year term, requiring candidates to have at least four years of active legal practice and be in good standing with Wyoming courts. The bill designates the attorney general as a "state elected official," subjecting the role to ethics laws and requiring voter approval for certain actions that previously required the governor's direction. It also modifies election procedures to include the attorney general on ballots starting in 2026 and repeals prior rules for interim appointments.
