Montana HB817 revises hunting licensing laws to allow free special permits for terminally ill youth. The Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks can issue a free either-sex special permit license for elk, deer, or antelope and a conservation license to a youth under 18 with a life-threatening illness, recommended by a Montana charity or nonprofit. The permit is one-time and for one hunting season. The bill also allows the department to waive hunter safety and education requirements for qualified youth.
