Wyoming Bill for an Elected Attorney General is Defeated

Wyoming is the only state that elects some statewide state offices other than just Governor (or a team of Governor and Lieutenant Governor), yet doesn’t elect its Attorney General. On February 10, HB 60, a proposed constitutional amendment for an elected Attorney General, failed in the House. Although it got a majority, it needed two-thirds because this year’s session is a budget session, and non-budget bills can’t be considered unless they get two-thirds approval. The vote was 35-26.
