The bill amends existing laws regarding the hunting and treatment of wildlife in Wyoming, specifically focusing on predatory animals. It prohibits individuals from harassing, injuring, or killing any wildlife, including predatory animals, using vehicles on public lands. However, it allows for the harassment, pursuit, hunting, shooting, or killing of predatory animals using vehicles on private lands. The bill also introduces new definitions and exceptions, such as allowing governmental agencies to use aircraft for lawful duties and providing exemptions for handicapped hunters.

Additionally, the bill mandates the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission to create rules necessary for its implementation. The effective date for the act is set for July 1, 2025, with certain sections taking effect immediately upon the completion of legislative processes. The amendments include specific language that clarifies the use of vehicles and aircraft in relation to wildlife, ensuring that the regulations are clear and enforceable.
