This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution that would change the process for selecting justices and judges. The amendment seeks to repeal the current system where judges are appointed by the governor from a list provided by a judicial nominating commission. Instead, it establishes that justices of the Supreme Court and judges of other courts will be elected directly by the electorate during general elections. The amendment also outlines that judges will serve specific terms and must stand for reelection if they wish to continue in their judicial roles.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the election process, specifying that justices and judges will be elected for defined terms and that the electorate will vote on their retention or election based on their performance. The amendment repeals several sections of the current law related to the judicial nominating process and retention votes, thereby streamlining the selection of judges and justices to a direct electoral process. This change aims to enhance accountability and public involvement in the judicial selection process in Wyoming.
