Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to game and fish; amending qualifications for a nonresident trapping license; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Wyoming's regulations for nonresident trapping licenses by establishing a reciprocal licensing requirement. Currently, the state will only issue a trapping license to a nonresident if their home state provides similar licensing opportunities for Wyoming residents. The bill requires nonresident applicants to provide two specific pieces of documentation: (1) a notarized affidavit stating their legal address and state of residence, and (2) a copy of their home state's current statutes or regulations demonstrating that Wyoming residents can obtain nonresident trapping permits for the same species. This ensures a fair, reciprocal approach to trapping license issuance across state lines, where nonresident hunters can only obtain a Wyoming trapping license if their home state extends similar privileges to Wyoming residents. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving state wildlife departments time to implement the new requirements and update their licensing procedures.
