Bill > SF0118

This bill amends Wyoming state law to allow landowners who receive special hunting licenses for elk, deer, antelope, and turkey to sell those licenses to other people, with several important restrictions. Specifically, the landowner can only sell the license to someone other than themselves or their immediate family, and the purchaser must comply with all existing hunting regulations. The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission is required to create rules governing how these licenses can be transferred, and the licenses sold under this provision will be exempt from the typical landowner coupon payment. The bill also stipulates that the Game and Fish Department must develop the specific implementation rules, and the law will generally take effect on July 1, 2025, with some sections becoming effective immediately upon the bill becoming law. This change is intended to provide landowners with more flexibility in how they can use their hunting licenses while maintaining regulatory oversight to ensure responsible hunting practices.
