The bill amends Section 87-2-116 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to revise the fees associated with nonresident base hunting licenses and allocate a portion of these fees to hunting access programs. Specifically, the fee for nonresident base hunting licenses is increased from $15 to $100, with a significant portion of this fee, now set at $90, designated as a hunting access fee. This fee is intended to support programs authorized under section 87-1-265, which focus on improving access to hunting areas.

In contrast, the fee for resident base hunting licenses remains unchanged at $10, with $2 allocated to the hunting access fee. The bill emphasizes the importance of funding hunting access programs through the increased fees for nonresidents, reflecting a commitment to enhancing hunting opportunities and access in Montana.
