New DNA testing rules for convicted people
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming moves its DNA testing cutoff from January 1, 2000, to July 1, 2008. People convicted on or before July 1, 2008, need not show due diligence—reasonable efforts to seek or present DNA evidence. For trials or guilty or no-contest pleas after that date, courts cannot order testing when earlier efforts were skipped for strategic or tactical reasons. Courts also cannot order testing when the person failed to request testing or present DNA evidence because of insufficient diligence. An exception applies when the court finds that the lack of diligence resulted from ineffective assistance from the person's lawyer.
