The bill amends Wyoming state law to explicitly prohibit trespassing on state-leased cultivated cropland for the purposes of hunting or fishing without authorization from the board. This new provision is added as paragraph (viii) to W.S. 36-2-107(b), which outlines the penalties for violations of the rules and regulations regarding state lands. Individuals found guilty of this misdemeanor can face fines up to $750, imprisonment for up to six months, or both, along with potential restitution for damages caused by their illegal actions.

The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. The bill aims to enhance the protection of state lands and ensure that individuals respect the boundaries of cultivated cropland designated for specific uses, thereby promoting responsible land management and conservation efforts.
