Wyoming State Legislature |
Members of the House serve two year terms without term limits.[2] Term limits were declared unconstitutional by the Wyoming Supreme Court in 2004, overturning a decade-old law that had restricted Representatives to six terms (twelve years).[3]
The current Speaker of the House is Albert Sommers.
