This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution that would change the process for selecting judges and justices. The amendment seeks to repeal the current system where justices and 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 district courts will be elected directly by the electorate during general elections. The amendment also specifies that justices and judges must stand for reelection if they wish to continue serving after their current term.

Additionally, the bill includes several modifications to existing provisions regarding the terms and election processes for judges and justices. It clarifies that justices and judges will serve fixed terms and outlines the voting process for their election, including the requirement for the electorate to vote on their retention. The amendment also repeals certain sections of the current law related to the judicial nominating commission and retention votes, thereby streamlining the judicial election process in Wyoming.
