Donated hunting licenses-amendments.
Wyoming's SF 66 creates two programs for donating hunting licenses. First, it allows free hunting licenses (for antelope, deer, elk, or turkey) for youth aged 12-20 with life-threatening illnesses, sponsored by nonprofits. Second, it lets license holders donate big game licenses (like elk, bison, or deer) to veterans with disabilities, people using wheelchairs, or vision-impaired individuals, via qualifying nonprofits - reissuing the license at no cost. Donated licenses cannot be sold or traded and bypass standard residency, drawing, and fee rules. The bill requires the Game and Fish Commission to create implementing rules and takes effect July 1, 2026.

MINOR
The bill was finalized and enrolled for signing, retaining its core purpose of allowing donated hunting licenses for youth with life-threatening illnesses and veterans or individuals with permanent disabilities. The text was cleaned up to remove internal legislative markup and formatting artifacts, ensuring the final version is ready for the Governor's signature.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains unchanged; it continues to authorize the donation of hunting licenses to specific groups of people.
TECHNICAL
Removed internal legislative tracking numbers, page headers, and draft annotations to produce the final clean text of the act.
Standardized the document title and header information to reflect the final enrolled status (Act No. 57) rather than the draft Senate file number.
Corrected minor spacing and line-break inconsistencies in the statutory text to improve readability.
