Establish the Montana hunters and anglers community fund
This bill establishes the Montana Hunters and Anglers Community Fund, allowing hunters and anglers to donate an optional amount of $1 or more above their license fees to support rural communities. The Montana Department of Commerce will administer the fund, which can award grants to small communities, schools, and nonprofit organizations for projects like community improvements, food banks, and student activities. A seven-member review board, appointed by state officials and composed of hunters, anglers, and community advocates, will evaluate grant applications. The bill also creates a dedicated state account for the fund and sets rules prohibiting grants for political activities or entities involved in lawsuits.
