What is required to amend any law under the Wyoming Constitution?

• A. Amendments may refer to the title only.
• B. A simple majority in both houses is sufficient.
• C. Executive approval is sufficient.
• D. The law must be rewritten.

Answer: (D)

In Wyoming, changing a law through the Constitution’s framework isn’t done by a small tweak or executive action alone—you replace or rewrite the statute through the legislative process. That means the change comes about by enacting a new version of the law (often repealing the old text and substituting a rewritten one) and having it signed by the governor (with possible veto overrides by the Legislature). If the item were about amending the Constitution itself, the rule is different: two-thirds of both houses must approve the amendment and the change must be approved by a majority of voters in a statewide vote. The idea behind the choice you’re seeing is that an amendment to a law is accomplished by rewriting the law’s text through a formal act. The other options don’t fit because amendments aren’t limited to a title change, aren’t accomplished by a mere simple majority, and aren’t done by executive approval alone.
