SF 6 Wyoming House · 2022 Regular Session

Aquatic invasive species-inspection enforcement.

This bill requires individuals who have previously failed to have their watercraft inspected for invasive species to report to an authorized check station within 48 hours if stopped by law enforcement. It directly affects boat and watercraft owners/operators who missed prior inspections. The key mechanism imposes criminal penalties for non-compliance, including fines up to $15,000 or up to one year in jail. The Game and Fish Commission must create implementing rules by July 1, 2022, and the main provisions take effect on that date.
