The bill establishes new requirements for the issuance of transferable landowner hunting licenses in Wyoming. It amends W.S. 23-1-302(h) to allow resident landowners to qualify for up to two hunting licenses per eligible species each calendar year, provided they operate a farming or ranching business classified as agricultural land and generate a minimum annual gross income of $10,000 from agricultural sales. Additionally, these licenses can be transferred to any individual eligible for a hunting license under Wyoming law. The bill also includes a sunset provision, stating that this subsection will be repealed on June 30, 2031.
To implement these changes, the game and fish commission is tasked with promulgating necessary rules and regulations. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the completion of legislative procedures.
