Public Land Access Amendments

HB 18 removes a requirement that individuals aged 18+ need a hunting, fishing, or combination license to simply enter Utah's wildlife management areas in certain counties. It repeals Section 23A-6-402(5)(a) which previously mandated this authorization for access. The bill does not change existing license requirements for actual hunting or fishing activities within these areas. It also makes minor technical updates to the law governing public access to state-owned wildlife lands.
