Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to state lands; amending provisions and creating exemptions regarding the subleasing of state grazing lands; providing definitions; establishing a non-owned livestock fee; repealing obsolete provisions; and providing for an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends Wyoming state law regarding the subleasing of state grazing lands by clarifying the definition of "excess rental" as the amount received from a sublease that exceeds the current annual grazing and agricultural lease rental, and it introduces a new requirement for lessees to pay a monthly fee for livestock they do not own grazing on their leased land, with this fee not exceeding 50% of the annual animal unit month rental rate, and requires notice to the board of land commissioners within 30 days of the non-owned livestock arriving on the land, though these sublease and non-owned livestock fee requirements are waived if the entities holding the lease and owning the livestock share at least 80% common ownership.
