AI Summary

This bill modifies the composition and term limits for predator management district boards in Wyoming. The changes include increasing the number of county commissioner-appointed directors from one to two, extending the term limit for these directors from six to nine years, and modifying requirements for sportsmen and hunter representatives. Specifically, the bill now requires these representatives to have held a valid fishing or hunting license within the previous 24 months (increased from 12 months) and removes the previous staggered term structure for their appointments. Additionally, the bill imposes a nine-year maximum service limit for sportsmen and hunter directors, similar to the limits for sheep and cattle owner directors. These changes aim to provide more flexibility in board appointments while ensuring regular turnover and maintaining representation from diverse geographic areas within predator management districts. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2026, giving local jurisdictions time to adapt to the new requirements.
