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 allows nonresident permits for trapping the same species that Wyoming residents are licensed to trap. The bill introduces new requirements for nonresident applicants, including the need to provide a notarized affidavit stating their legal address and state of residence, as well as a copy of the relevant statutes or regulations from their home state that demonstrate the issuance of nonresident trapping licenses.

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