The bill revises existing laws related to game bird farms in Montana by removing certain notification requirements for licensees and the department. Specifically, it eliminates the need for individuals who propagate game birds for non-commercial purposes to notify the department for an exemption. Additionally, the application process for obtaining a game bird farm license is streamlined by requiring applicants to submit their applications on a form provided by the department and extending the timeline for the department to respond from 30 to 60 days.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a game bird farm license fee of $300 and extends the validity of the license from one year to five years, expiring on February 28 of the fifth year following issuance. It also mandates that licensees maintain accurate records of their operations for five years and submit annual reports to the department. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
