Senate advances bill to align post-conviction DNA testing cutoff with statute’s enactment date

Senate File 101, described by sponsor Senator Landon, would amend Wyoming’s post-conviction DNA testing statute to align the statute’s cutoff date with the date the statute was enacted. Landon said the current statutory cutoff prevents some convicted people—those convicted after the earlier cutoff but before the statute’s passage—from seeking court‑ordered DNA testing even if they meet the statutory standard for testing.
