(a) The board may issue an in-state range movement permit
for the movement of livestock from a location in Wyoming to a
noncontiguous location in another county provided the applicant
and the ranch meet the requirements of this subsection and
criteria established by rules of the board. The movement shall
be for the purpose of pasturing, grazing, feeding the livestock,
veterinary care, commercial lease or use or other board approved
movement that is considered necessary for normal ranch
management operating conditions. The movement shall not be for
the purpose of changing ownership. A permit under this section
may be issued only to bona fide owners or Wyoming resident
lessees of qualified ranch lands headquartered within Wyoming or
their authorized employees. As used in this section, a qualified
ranch means a ranch that has been used for a period of time or
purpose specified by the board and which use can be verified by
brand inspection records. A permit may be denied by the board
after a finding that the person applying for a permit has
violated a brand inspection or animal health law, including a
provision of this section, a board brand inspection or animal
health rule or regulation or a board order.
(b) The fee imposed by W.S. 11-20-402 shall be collected
at the time of the issuance of the permit under this section. If
a change of ownership occurs before the livestock is returned to
the county of origin pursuant to a permit issued under this
section, the owner shall notify a brand inspector for an
inspection of the livestock and shall pay all fees imposed under
W.S. 11-6-210 and 11-20-401.
(c) Repealed By Laws 2010, Ch. 69, § 204.
(d) The board shall promulgate rules and regulations
necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.
(e) Repealed By Laws 2013, Ch. 13, § 2.
