The 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 allows for the trapping of the same species that can be trapped in Wyoming. The bill introduces new requirements for nonresident applicants, including the need to provide a notarized affidavit stating their legal address and a copy of their state's current statutes or regulations that confirm the issuance of nonresident trapping licenses that permit Wyoming residents to trap the same species.

Additionally, the bill removes previous language that required nonresident applicants to demonstrate that their state issues licenses to Wyoming residents for trapping the same species. The new legal language clarifies the documentation needed from nonresident applicants and establishes a more streamlined process for obtaining a trapping license in Wyoming. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
