Senate Bill No. introduced by D. Loge establishes the Montana Block Management Enforcement Network, which aims to assist landowners enrolled in the block management program with enforcing compliance by hunters with their rules and state law. Landowners have the option to opt-in or opt-out of this network, and opting in does not waive their right to deny access to their property for valid reasons. The bill outlines specific consequences for individuals who violate access rules while on lands enrolled in the network, including prohibitions on accessing these lands for varying lengths of time based on the number of convictions.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department provide educational resources to inform individuals about the rules governing access to private property under the block management program and the penalties for violations. The commission is granted authority to adopt rules necessary for implementing these provisions. The new section created by this bill is intended to be codified as part of Title 87, chapter 1, part 2 of the Montana Code.
