Wyoming camping act.
HB 217, the Wyoming Camping Act, removes an existing ban on overnight camping on state lands. It repeals Section 36-2-107(b)(v) of Wyoming law, which previously prohibited such camping. The change allows campers to stay overnight on state lands without restriction, effective July 1, 2019. This directly affects outdoor recreation users accessing Wyoming's state-managed lands.
