The bill establishes the Supporting Bowhunters with Disabilities Program in Montana, which aims to enhance accessibility to archery hunting for individuals with disabilities. It allows hunters to make an optional donation of $1 or more when purchasing certain hunting licenses, with the funds directed to a newly created Supporting Bowhunters with Disabilities Account. This account will be used to provide modified archery equipment to hunters with disabilities, with the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks responsible for implementing the program and establishing necessary rules.

Additionally, the bill amends existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to incorporate the new program and account. Specifically, it modifies Section 87-1-601 to include references to the new program and Section 87-2-903 to clarify the handling of donations related to the program. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
