HJ 1 Wyoming House · 2022 Regular Session

Supreme court justices and district judges-retirement.

HJ 1 proposes to amend the Wyoming Constitution by raising the mandatory retirement age for Supreme Court justices and district court judges from 70 to 75 years. It also removes an obsolete exception that previously allowed judges with less than six years of service as of December 12, 1972, to delay retirement. If approved by voters, this change would apply to all future judges and eliminate the historical six-year service requirement. The amendment must be ratified by a majority of voters in the next general election to become part of the Wyoming Constitution.
