LC 2291 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise hunting licenses for deployed armed service members

This bill updates Montana's hunting and fishing license program to provide special benefits for deployed armed service members. It allows veterans and disabled service members with combat-connected injuries to purchase certain deer and antelope licenses at half price, while also offering free resident fishing licenses to active duty members who served at least two months outside the state during a contingency operation. Eligible service members must submit military discharge documentation to claim these benefits, and the state will fund the free licenses through quarterly transfers from the general fund. Additionally, the bill ensures that service members who lose a license due to deployment can reapply for the same license without paying an additional fee upon their return.
