The bill revises existing shooting preserve laws in Montana by implementing several key changes. It mandates that shooting preserves must be located entirely on private property, thereby eliminating any previous size restrictions on the land. The license fee for operating a shooting preserve is increased to $250, valid for five years, and operators are now required to report their harvests using specific forms provided by the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks. Additionally, the bill removes the previous requirement for a minimum number of birds to be released each year and eliminates the quantity restrictions on game harvests.

Further amendments include changes to the definitions and requirements for preserve operators, such as the need to maintain records of released and harvested birds. The bill also repeals the section that previously set limits on the amount of game that could be recovered. Overall, these changes aim to streamline the regulations surrounding shooting preserves while enhancing reporting and compliance measures for operators. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
