The bill modifies the duties of the attorney general in relation to legislative requests for opinions. Specifically, it amends W.S. 9-1-603(a)(vi) to allow the attorney general to provide written opinions to any member of the legislature, rather than just to either branch when in session. Additionally, the attorney general is granted the discretion to decline to provide an opinion if doing so would conflict with the Wyoming Rules of Professional Conduct for Attorneys at Law.

The changes aim to clarify the attorney general's responsibilities and ensure adherence to professional conduct standards. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2024.
