This bill mandates that the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks must notify the county sheriff prior to the establishment of checking stations. This requirement aims to enhance communication and coordination between state wildlife authorities and local law enforcement, ensuring that the sheriff is informed of any activities that may impact public safety or local law enforcement operations.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 87-1-207 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to incorporate this notification requirement. The specific legal language changes include the insertion of the notification obligation, while any previous provisions that may conflict with this new requirement are deleted to streamline the process.
