HB 29 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Trapping licenses-nonresident reciprocal licenses.

HB 29 clarifies requirements for nonresidents to obtain trapping licenses in Wyoming. It mandates that nonresidents provide a notarized affidavit confirming their home state allows Wyoming residents to trap the same species, along with proof of their state's relevant laws. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department must create implementing rules to enforce this reciprocity standard. This directly affects nonresident trappers who must now verify reciprocal licensing agreements with their home states before obtaining a Wyoming trapping license.
