Summary

The bill removes the need for a hunting or fishing license to enter some Utah wildlife management areas, except where a license is otherwise required. It also mandates that any state‑owned land leased or sold stay open for public hunting, trapping, and fishing without charge, and gives the Wildlife Board authority to define exemptions and educational uses. The change is intended to broaden public access while preserving wildlife protections.
