Working animal protection act.

HB 63, the "Working Animal Protection Act," prevents Wyoming counties and cities from banning or unduly restricting the use of "working animals" in lawful commerce or animal enterprises. It directly affects local governments by overriding conflicting ordinances, though it allows zoning, health, and safety rules to remain in place. The bill defines "working animals" as non-food animals used for duties like ranching, transportation, or tourism (excluding cattle, chickens, or other food/fiber animals). It becomes effective July 1, 2025.
