Bill > HB0029

This bill clarifies the requirements for nonresidents to obtain a trapping license in Wyoming, focusing on reciprocity with other states. Previously, a nonresident could only get a license if their home state issued licenses to Wyoming residents for the same species. Now, the bill amends this to state that a nonresident applicant must demonstrate that the species they wish to trap can be legally trapped in their home state and that their home state issues nonresident trapping licenses that allow Wyoming residents to trap the same species. The bill also requires the game and fish department to create rules to implement these changes and specifies that most of the act will take effect on July 1, 2026, with other sections effective immediately upon becoming law.
