Public land access to Utah's wildlife management areas would change under this bill. Currently, in Utah's more populous counties (first and second class counties, such as Salt Lake, Utah, and Davis), adults 18 and older generally must hold a valid hunting, fishing, or combination license—or have specific permission or a property right—just to enter a wildlife management area, even if they don't plan to hunt or fish. This bill would repeal that licensing requirement entirely, allowing members of the public to enter these state-owned wildlife management areas without first obtaining a hunting, fishing, or combination license, while leaving other existing rules about regulating or closing such lands to hunting, trapping, or fishing in place.
