Provide for the Montana hunters first act

This bill establishes the Montana Hunters First Act, which directs the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks to conduct a study on how nonresident hunting licenses affect deer and elk hunting opportunities. The study will examine factors such as hunting pressure on public lands, population trends, and license allocation, using data from hunter days, harvest reports, and land access programs. The department must publish a public report by December 1, 2026, that includes an assessment of nonresident impacts and identifies issues for future consideration by the legislature and wildlife commission. The bill is effective immediately and will remain in force until December 31, 2026, after which the study requirements end.
