This bill establishes a framework for the designation of official nonprofit partners by the game and fish commission in Wyoming. It creates a new section, W.S. 23-1-306, which outlines the requirements and obligations for these nonprofit partners, including their dedication to fundraising and supporting the department's priorities, as well as the necessity to provide annual reports detailing donor identities and contributions. The bill also stipulates that no public funds will be used for the activities of these partners and that the department will not be liable for their actions or obligations.
Additionally, the bill amends existing definitions and powers within the game and fish statutes to include the term "official nonprofit partner" and to empower the commission to designate such partners that meet the specified criteria. The commission is tasked with promulgating necessary rules and regulations to implement these provisions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all legislative processes required for a bill to become law.
