LC 3968 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise penalties for criminal trespass while fishing, trapping, hunting, or collecting antlers/sheds/horns

This bill amends Montana law to require the revocation of hunting, fishing, and trapping privileges for up to 24 months when someone commits criminal trespass while engaged in these activities or collecting antlers, sheds, or horns. The change directly affects hunters, anglers, trappers, and wildlife collectors who unlawfully enter property owned by the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks or any other property while participating in these activities. Under the new provisions, individuals convicted of such trespassing offenses will face standard criminal penalties plus the loss of their state-issued hunting and fishing licenses for the specified period. The amendment applies to violations charged on or after the effective date of the act.
