Require hunter reporting of hunting activity

This bill requires hunters who purchase licenses for game animals in Montana to report their hunting activity to the state department before they can buy a new license for the next year. The legislation authorizes the department to create specific rules about how hunters submit reports, including details on reporting systems, deadlines, and penalties for non-compliance. The law will take effect on March 1, 2026, and applies to anyone holding a hunting license for game animals. Hunters must complete this reporting requirement to remain eligible for future hunting licenses.
