HB 593-Revise FWP laws related to publishing the number of nonresident

 HB 593 



Mr. Chairman and members of the House Fish, Wildlife and Parks Committee

  The Montana Sportsmen Alliance is a coalition of resident hunters, anglers and sportsmen and women. We stand in support to HB-593. The need to publish the number and means by which non-resident hunting licenses are sold is an important step to get a handle on how much use is occurring in Montana. In addition to the items included in this bill, we encourage the bill to be amended to clearly define how many non-resident licenses are issue to non-residents utilizing an outfitter, not just those who acquired a preference point. Without this information, it will be difficult for future legislatures, FWP or the Commission to get a clear idea on how many and to whom these licenses are going to. We urge a do pass on HB-593. 

 Thank you
