Generally revise laws related to hunting licenses for terminally ill youth.
This bill updates Montana's hunting license laws to create a free special permit for minors under 18 who have a life-threatening illness, allowing them to hunt elk, deer, or antelope without paying the standard fee. To qualify, the youth must receive a recommendation from a Montana charity or nonprofit organization and provide medical documentation confirming their diagnosis. The license is issued on a one-time basis for a single hunting season and includes specific requirements for obtaining and using the permit. The legislation also clarifies existing hunter safety education rules for minors and establishes the department's authority to set licensing caps and adopt related rules.
