Require FWP notification before the release of large predators

This bill requires the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks to notify county commissioners, sheriff's offices, and tribal governments at least 30 days before releasing or relocating large predators such as bears, mountain lions, or wolves. The law also establishes that protecting humans, livestock, and pets takes priority over preserving hunting opportunities when managing these animals. Additionally, the bill defines "large predators" specifically and mandates that the department consult with local and tribal authorities on policies that could affect agricultural production or public safety. These changes aim to improve communication and coordination between state wildlife management and local communities before predator releases occur.
