Revise FWP crimestoppers program to allow financial rewards and reward permits
This bill amends Montana law to allow the Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks to offer financial rewards and reward permits to the public as part of its Crimestoppers program. The changes enable the department to provide monetary incentives to citizens who provide information that helps detect and prosecute crimes related to fish, wildlife, and parks. By adding these specific options, the program can more actively encourage public cooperation in reporting illegal activities without requiring new funding sources. The amendment updates the relevant statute to explicitly authorize these reward mechanisms alongside existing program functions.
