This bill amends Wyoming law to authorize landowners to sell their landowner hunting licenses under specific conditions. The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission is tasked with creating rules and regulations for the issuance of elk, deer, antelope, and turkey hunting licenses to landowners without the need for competitive public issuance. The bill stipulates that landowners who obtain these licenses can sell them to others, but not to immediate family members. Additionally, the purchaser must comply with all relevant hunting license statutes and regulations, and the commission will establish rules governing the sale and re-issuance of these licenses. Notably, licenses sold under this provision will be exempt from the landowner coupon payment requirement.

The bill also mandates that the Game and Fish Department develop all necessary rules to implement these changes. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the completion of necessary legislative processes.
