The bill amends Wyoming's trapping license regulations, specifically clarifying the requirements for nonresident applicants. It removes the previous stipulation that a nonresident could only receive a trapping license if their home state issued licenses to Wyoming residents for the same species. Instead, the new language requires that nonresident applicants must provide a notarized affidavit stating their legal address, a copy of their state's current statutes or regulations, and confirmation that their state issues nonresident trapping licenses that allow Wyoming residents to trap the same species.
Additionally, the bill mandates the Wyoming game and fish department to create necessary rules for implementing these changes. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the completion of legislative processes.
