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 through a competitive process. The commission is tasked with establishing rules for the auction or lottery, 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 reasonable expenses related to the auction or lottery.

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. This funding is intended to supplement existing resources used for the management of these species. The bill also includes a codification instruction indicating that the new provisions will be integrated into Title 87, chapter 2, part 8 of the Montana Code.
