Attorney general-elected official.

SF 157 would make the Wyoming Attorney General an elected statewide office, replacing the current system where the governor appoints the position. Starting with the 2022 general election, the attorney general would serve a four-year term and must have at least four years of legal practice in Wyoming. The bill designates the attorney general as one of five statewide elected officials (alongside governor, secretary of state, state auditor, and state treasurer) for state commissions and ballot listing. It repeals interim appointment rules, requires the attorney general to follow Wyoming's Ethics and Disclosure Act, and amends procedures for when the attorney general needs the governor's approval for certain actions.
