This bill aims to revise information disclosure laws concerning the harvesting of large predators. It specifically focuses on protecting the identities of permit and license holders while allowing for the disclosure of harvest locations at the hunting district level. The bill amends Section 87-1-214 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to implement these changes.
The proposed legislation emphasizes the importance of privacy for individuals holding permits and licenses, ensuring that their personal information remains confidential. At the same time, it balances this privacy with the need for transparency by permitting the sharing of general harvest location data, which will be categorized by hunting districts rather than specific sites. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
