The bill establishes the Montana Block Management Enforcement Network, which aims to assist landowners enrolled in the block management program in enforcing compliance with their rules and state laws by hunters. Landowners have the option to opt-in or opt-out of this network, and opting in does not waive their rights to deny access to their property for valid reasons. The bill outlines specific penalties for individuals who violate access rules on enrolled lands, including prohibitions on accessing all participating 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 consequences of violations. The commission is also granted authority to adopt rules to implement these provisions. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance compliance and education regarding land access in Montana's block management program.
