When does the Wyoming Legislature first convene for a regular session?

• A. At noon the second Tuesday of January succeeding the general election.
• B. The legislature meets on the first Monday in February.
• C. It convenes in July.
• D. It meets only when called by the Governor.

Answer: (A)

In Wyoming, the regular legislative session has a fixed start: at noon on the second Tuesday in January following the general election. This constitutional rule makes the start of the biennial session predictable and tied to the election cycle, so lawmakers know exactly when to assemble. It’s a regular session, not contingent on a governor’s call. The other options describe schedules for special sessions or different calendars (February, July, or only when summoned by the governor), which do not apply to regular sessions.
