The bill amends existing laws regarding criminal trespass and hunting regulations in Wyoming by introducing exceptions for incidental contact when crossing adjacent parcels of land. Specifically, it states that a person does not commit criminal trespass if they incidentally pass through the airspace or touch the land of another while traveling between two parcels they are authorized to access, provided these parcels share a common corner or are immediately connected.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that this exception applies to hunting and fishing activities as well, ensuring that individuals do not face trespassing charges for incidental contact while moving between authorized properties. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2023.
