AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Under current Utah law, adults 18 and older in Utah's most populous counties (first and second class counties, which include Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, and similar areas) must hold a valid hunting, fishing, or combination license just to enter a wildlife management area — even if they have no intention of hunting or fishing. This bill removes that requirement entirely, allowing any member of the public to access these state-owned wildlife management areas without needing to purchase a license first.
