Starting July 1, 2026, this bill replaces the existing requirement that adults hold a hunting or fishing license to enter Utah wildlife management areas — state lands set aside for fish and wildlife habitat — with a new system requiring adults to either hold a hunting or fishing license or obtain a free "digital access permit" by watching and completing an online educational video approved by the Division of Wildlife Resources. The bill phases in this requirement statewide over three years, beginning with the most populous counties and expanding to all counties by 2028, and includes exceptions for activities like traveling through on major roads, joining educational programs, or recovering livestock. It also creates a Wildlife Management Area Stewardship Fund to collect voluntary donations and legislative appropriations for habitat restoration, trail maintenance, and volunteer coordination.
