The bill establishes new responsibilities regarding the fencing of state lands in Wyoming. Specifically, it mandates that the office of state lands and investments, or the lessee of the state lands, must construct fences to prevent livestock from privately owned adjoining lands from straying onto state lands. This shifts the responsibility from the private landowner to the state or lessee. Additionally, the bill prohibits the office of state lands and investments from pursuing trespass actions against livestock owners solely based on their animals straying onto unfenced state lands that do not meet specific legal fencing requirements.

Furthermore, the bill requires the office of state lands and investments to create necessary rules for the implementation of these provisions. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with the exception of the rulemaking and immediate provisions, which will become effective as soon as the bill completes the necessary legislative processes.
