Bill > HB0109

This bill amends Wyoming state law to impose stricter penalties on hunters who trespass on private property without permission. Specifically, the bill modifies the existing statute to mandate that individuals who enter, travel through, or return across private property without the owner's consent will now lose their hunting, fishing, and trapping license privileges for two years in addition to existing legal penalties. The bill clarifies that "travel through" means physically touching or driving on the surface of private property. The game and fish commission is required to create rules to implement these changes, and the bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, with certain sections taking effect immediately upon completion of the legislative process. The aim of the bill appears to be deterring unauthorized access to private land by hunters and protecting private property rights by introducing a more significant consequence for trespassing.
