Bill > SF0015

This bill modifies Wyoming state law regarding hunting licenses for landowners by authorizing the game and fish commission to establish limits on the number of landowner hunting licenses issued in limited quota hunt areas. Specifically, the bill requires that if the commission chooses to limit landowner hunting licenses, they must ensure that at least 40% of hunting licenses in a limited quota hunt area are still made available to landowners. Any remaining licenses not issued to landowners will be made available to the general public for purchase. The purpose of this provision appears to be balancing the hunting access rights of landowners with maintaining public hunting opportunities. The bill is part of Wyoming's wildlife management regulations, which aim to promote wildlife habitat maintenance and achieve wildlife management objectives. The new provisions will take effect on July 1, 2026, giving the game and fish commission time to develop and implement the new rules.
