Regulation of commercially guided boats.

Maddy summaryWyoming's SF 110 would authorize the Game and Fish Commission to regulate commercially guided fishing boats by setting daily limits on how many boats can launch into specific river sections to protect fisheries. It directly affects fishing outfitters and guides (defined as those offering paid fishing services) operating in major river drainages like the Snake, Wind River, or North Platte. The bill requires the Commission to hold public hearings in affected communities before setting limits and establishes rules for tracking boat launches. It defines key terms and would take effect July 1, 2022.

Wild game-use of trimmings.

Maddy summaryHB 115 allows licensed hunters in Wyoming to legally sell trimmings (the parts left after processing big game animals or wild bison, excluding landfill-required portions) instead of disposing of them. The bill defines "trimmings" as all parts destined for disposal after processing and grants the wildlife commission authority to further specify which parts qualify. It directly affects licensed hunters who process game and businesses that may purchase these trimmings. The law amends existing regulations to permit this sale while maintaining disposal requirements for certain parts, effective July 1, 2022.

Hunting and fishing-donations to support public schools.

Maddy summaryHB 145 allows hunters and anglers in Wyoming to voluntarily add a $2 or more donation when buying hunting or fishing licenses to support public schools. The bill amends license fee statutes to provide this option on application forms, with funds deposited into the state's common school account within the permanent land fund. It does not require any fee increase but gives license purchasers a choice to contribute directly to school funding. The provision applies to all license buyers (including nonresidents) purchasing licenses through the state's game and fish department. The bill was scheduled to take effect July 1, 2022, but was introduced in February 2022 without further action noted.

Lodging sales tax-exemption.

Maddy summaryHB 25 exempts certain lodging services provided by licensed guides and outfitters from Wyoming's sales tax. Specifically, it removes the tax on temporary accommodations like tents, snow shelters, base camps, and other temporary shelters used by these licensed businesses. The exemption applies to services distributed through existing tax codes (W.S. 39-15-211(a)(ii)) and covers all forms of temporary lodging they provide. This change directly affects Wyoming-based guide and outfitter businesses operating under W.S. 23-2-407. The bill took effect July 1, 2022.
