Nonresident anglers-regulatory modifications.

HB 254 creates new rules for nonresident fishing guides operating commercial boats in Wyoming. It requires these guides to obtain an annual $1,000 permit decal for their boats, submit application details including boat identification, and display the decal prominently. The bill also increases fees for nonresident fishing licenses and imposes penalties (including a low misdemeanor charge) for guides operating without the required decal. This directly affects nonresident guides offering paid fishing services in Wyoming, with the permit system taking effect January 1, 2025.
