The bill amends existing laws regarding criminal trespass and hunting regulations in Wyoming by introducing a clarifying exception for incidental contact when crossing adjacent parcels of land owned by local, state, or federal governments. Specifically, it states that a person does not commit criminal trespass if they are traveling from one authorized government-owned parcel to another at the corner where the two parcels meet, provided they do not cause damage to any adjacent privately owned land. This exception is included in the amendments to W.S. 6-3-303 and W.S. 23-3-305(b).

Additionally, the bill defines "travel through or return across" private property as requiring physical contact with the land's surface, reinforcing the conditions under which trespass is determined. The effective date of the act is immediate upon the completion of all necessary legislative procedures.
