This bill establishes a Trapping Apprentice Certificate Program and revises the existing Apprentice Hunting Certificate Program to encompass both hunting and trapping activities. It sets forth eligibility criteria for both apprentices and their mentors, ensuring that individuals who wish to engage in these activities have the necessary guidance and training. The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 87-2-105, 87-2-520, and 87-2-810, to reflect these changes.

Key amendments include the removal of the term "hunting" from the Apprentice Certificate and the addition of provisions that allow apprentices to obtain a Class C or Class C-2 trapping license. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that apprentices must be accompanied by a mentor during hunting and trapping activities, with specific qualifications outlined for mentors, including the completion of relevant safety courses. The bill also clarifies the types of licenses and tags that apprentices can acquire, ensuring that they are appropriately regulated while participating in these outdoor activities.
