Montana HB283 revises laws to allow issuance of mountain sheep and Shiras moose tags through lotteries.

Montana HB283 amends the Montana Code to permit the issuance of one male mountain sheep license and one male Shiras moose license each year through a competitive auction or lottery. The Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Commission may conduct these lotteries or authorize wildlife conservation organizations to do so. The commission must promulgate rules for the use of the license and conduct of the auction or lottery. Organizations conducting the lotteries may retain up to 10% of the proceeds to cover expenses.
