The bill amends Section 87-6-214 of the Montana Code Annotated to allow for reimbursements to individuals for costs incurred while hunting or trapping wolves, specifically for those who lawfully harvest wolves. This change broadens the eligibility for reimbursements by removing the requirement that individuals must be licensed to hunt or trap wolves, instead allowing any person who lawfully harvests wolves to receive these reimbursements.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the reimbursements can be provided for receipts related to the hunting or trapping of wolves, thereby formalizing the process for individuals to recoup their expenses. The amendments also include minor adjustments to the language regarding contests and prizes related to game animals, ensuring that the rules governing such activities remain clear and consistent.
