The bill amends Wyoming state law to prohibit trespassing on state-leased cultivated cropland for the purposes of hunting or fishing without authorization from the board. Specifically, it adds a new provision under W.S. 36-2-107(b) that classifies such trespassing as a misdemeanor, subjecting violators to fines of up to $750 and/or imprisonment for up to six months. Additionally, the court may order restitution for any actual damages caused by the illegal actions, with considerations for the defendant's ability to pay.

The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. This bill aims to enhance the protection of state lands and ensure that hunting and fishing activities are conducted legally and responsibly.
