The proposed bill establishes protections for the use of working animals by prohibiting counties, cities, and towns from enacting ordinances or policies that would terminate, ban, or unduly restrict the use of these animals in lawful commerce or animal enterprises. Specifically, it creates new sections in Wyoming law, W.S. 15-1-133 and 18-2-117, which outline that any conflicting municipal or county policies will be superseded by this legislation, while still allowing for existing zoning ordinances and public health or safety policies to remain in effect.

The bill defines "working animal" as a nonhuman animal primarily used for specific duties in various sectors, including agriculture, transportation, and entertainment, while explicitly excluding animals primarily used for food or fiber production. Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not amend any other Wyoming laws related to animal care, public health, or public safety. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
