This bill amends the qualifications for obtaining a nonresident trapping license in Wyoming. It specifies that the Wyoming Department of Game and Fish will only issue a trapping license to a nonresident if their state of residence allows for the trapping of the same species and issues nonresident permits to Wyoming residents. The bill introduces new requirements for nonresidents applying for a trapping license, including the need to provide a notarized affidavit with their legal address and a copy of their state's current statutes or regulations that demonstrate the issuance of nonresident trapping licenses.

Additionally, the bill removes previous language that required nonresidents to provide evidence that their state issues licenses to Wyoming residents for trapping the same species. The new legal language clarifies the documentation needed from nonresidents and emphasizes the reciprocity of trapping licenses between states. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
