Create auction or lottery licenses for antelope and swans
HB 330 creates a new system for issuing special hunting licenses for antelope and swans. Each year, the state commission may offer one antelope and one swan license through a competitive auction or lottery. Wildlife conservation organizations can be authorized to conduct these events, retaining a small portion of the proceeds to cover expenses. All remaining funds generated from these license sales will be used by the department specifically for the conservation and management of antelope and migratory game birds.

MINOR
The bill was finalized and enrolled as an official legislative act, removing draft markings and adding certification signatures from House and Senate leadership. The substantive policy content regarding antelope and swan licenses remains unchanged, establishing a competitive auction or lottery system where up to 10% of proceeds can cover administrative costs and all remaining funds must benefit wildlife management.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding wildlife licensing remains identical to the draft version; the change is purely procedural, moving the document from a draft proposal to an enrolled, enacted law.
TECHNICAL
Removed draft identifiers, page numbers, and placeholder text indicating this was a preliminary version of the bill.
Added formal certification language and signature lines for the Chief Clerk, Speaker of the House, and President of the Senate to validate the bill as an enrolled act.
Corrected minor formatting inconsistencies in the header and title to match the final enrolled bill style.
