The bill proposes the creation of auction or lottery licenses specifically for antelope and swans, allowing the commission to issue one license for each species annually. The commission is tasked with establishing rules for the auction or lottery process, and wildlife conservation organizations focused on the respective species may be authorized to conduct these events. These organizations can retain up to 10% of the proceeds to cover their expenses. Importantly, all remaining proceeds from the auctions or lotteries must be allocated to the department for the substantial benefit of antelope and migratory game birds, respectively, supplementing existing management funds.

Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction indicating that the new sections regarding antelope and swan licenses are intended to be integrated into Title 87, chapter 2, part 8 of the Montana Code. This legislative action aims to enhance conservation efforts for these species through regulated fundraising activities while ensuring that the proceeds are directed towards their management and protection.
