Revising laws related to possession and validation of licenses, permits, or tags
This bill updates Montana laws to clarify rules about hunting and fishing licenses, primarily affecting hunters, anglers, and license vendors. It allows individuals to physically carry unused electronic licenses for their spouse or minor children when they are hunting together, while still prohibiting possession of unused licenses belonging to other unrelated people. The legislation also requires license holders to validate their own licenses and strengthens penalties for illegal possession, with commercial violators facing felony charges and longer license suspensions. These changes aim to align regulations with modern electronic licensing systems and ensure proper license validation practices.
