Public access easements mapping.
HB 278 requires Wyoming's game and fish department, state lands office, and state parks department to update digital maps showing public access points (like trails, roads, and fishing/hunting water access) on state-owned lands. The maps must include boundaries, seasonal restrictions, and vehicle type limits for all relevant easements, excluding pipelines, short-term (≤3-year) easements, and transportation department easements. These updated maps must be publicly available by January 1, 2025, and refreshed annually. The bill directly affects state agencies managing public access and outdoor recreation resources.
