The bill amends the regulations governing predator management districts in Wyoming, specifically focusing on the composition and term limits of the advisory board. It establishes that sportsman and hunter directors must have held a valid fishing or hunting license within the previous twenty-four months, a change from the previous requirement of twelve months. Additionally, the bill removes staggered term limits for these directors, allowing them to serve for a maximum of nine years. The board will now consist of two directors appointed by the county commissioners, rather than one, and these directors will serve initial terms of two years, followed by three-year terms.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies the election process for sheep and cattle owner directors, ensuring that they are elected for three-year terms with a maximum service limit of nine years. The changes aim to enhance the representation and effectiveness of the predator management advisory board while ensuring that all directors are actively engaged in the relevant activities of fishing or hunting. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
