The bill proposes revisions to the fee structure for nonresident base hunting licenses in Montana. Specifically, it amends Section 87-2-116 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to increase the fee for nonresident base hunting licenses from $15 to $50, with a portion of this fee allocated to hunting access programs. The hunting access fee for nonresidents will also be adjusted from $10 to $40, which is designated for funding programs authorized under Section 87-1-265.

Additionally, the bill maintains the resident base hunting license fee at $10, with a $2 allocation for hunting access programs. The changes aim to enhance funding for hunting access initiatives while adjusting the financial contributions required from nonresident hunters. Overall, the bill seeks to balance the costs associated with hunting licenses while supporting conservation and access efforts in Montana.
