Revise law to recognize commission authority to regulate public use of private property under access agreements

This bill amends Montana law to grant the Fish and Wildlife Commission explicit authority to create rules governing public access to private lands that are part of active public access agreements. The change directly affects private landowners who have shared their property with the public for hunting, fishing, or wildlife viewing, as well as the public using those lands. Under the new provisions, the commission would establish specific guidelines for how visitors may use private property under these agreements, including rules about behavior, safety, and resource protection. The legislation also clarifies the commission's existing powers regarding wildlife management on private lands and adds requirements to consider landowner tolerance when managing elk populations near private property.
