The bill amends existing law regarding the use of landowner coupons for hunting antelope, deer, and elk on private property in Wyoming. It requires hunters to deliver these coupons to landowners when they either harvest an animal or conclude a hunt without success on the landowner's property. Specifically, the bill stipulates that the coupon must be detached, dated, signed, and delivered to the landowner if the majority of the hunt occurred on their property. Additionally, landowners are authorized to redeem these coupons for payment from the state, provided they submit the coupon along with an affidavit confirming the harvest or the use of the property for the majority of the hunting season.

The bill also includes provisions that clarify the process for landowners to receive compensation for the coupons, which is set at sixteen dollars for each coupon redeemed. It emphasizes that landowner coupons are non-transferable and establishes penalties for unauthorized attempts to collect payment for these coupons. The effective date for the implementation of this act is set for July 1, 2025.
