HB 273 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Game and fish trespass-intent.

HB 273 amends Wyoming's game and fish trespass law to require that a person must "knowingly" enter private property to hunt, fish, collect antlers, or trap without permission for it to be a violation. This change clarifies that accidental or unintentional entry does not constitute a trespass under this statute. The bill directly affects hunters, anglers, and trappers who might enter private land without authorization, ensuring the law applies only to intentional violations. It does not change penalties or create new regulations, merely specifying the required mental state for the offense. The amendment becomes effective July 1, 2023.
