The bill amends Wyoming law regarding the use of vehicles and aircraft in the hunting and taking of wildlife. It specifically prohibits individuals from intentionally harassing, injuring, or killing predatory animals with ground vehicles on public lands. The new legal language clarifies that no person shall engage in these activities with automotive vehicles, trailers, or snow vehicles while on public land in Wyoming. Additionally, the bill outlines exceptions for governmental agencies and allows for potential exemptions for handicapped hunters.

The bill also mandates that the game and fish commission create necessary rules to implement these changes. The effective date for the act is set for July 1, 2026, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the completion of legislative processes. This legislation aims to enhance the protection of wildlife and ensure responsible hunting practices in the state.
