State lands-grazing of non-owned livestock.

This bill (HB 17) changes Wyoming's state land leasing rules to allow leaseholders to graze livestock they don't own on their leased land without needing approval from the state lands director. It directly affects ranchers and land leaseholders who manage grazing operations on state lands. The key provision removes a prior requirement for director approval when leaseholders retain full management and responsibility for non-owned livestock. The change takes effect July 1, 2023, streamlining grazing management for leaseholders.
