The bill amends Wyoming law to authorize landowners to sell their landowner hunting licenses under specific conditions. It requires the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission to create rules and regulations for the issuance of elk, deer, antelope, and turkey hunting licenses to landowners without the need for competitive public issuance. The fees for these licenses will remain consistent with existing regulations. Additionally, the bill stipulates that landowners who obtain these licenses can sell them to others, but not to immediate family members. The purchaser must comply with all relevant hunting statutes and regulations, and the commission is tasked with establishing rules for the sale and re-issuance of these licenses.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions that exempt sold licenses from the landowner coupon payment requirement. The Game and Fish Department is mandated to develop all necessary rules for the implementation of this act. The effective date for the act is set for July 1, 2025, with certain sections taking effect immediately upon the completion of legislative processes.
