Allow landowners to designate licenses to persons with disabilities

SB 148 allows landowners participating in Montana's block management program or those offering free public elk hunting to designate certain hunting licenses to individuals with developmental or physical disabilities. Previously, these landowners could only designate their earned license benefits to immediate family members or employees. The bill expands this provision, enabling landowners to transfer a conservation license and either a combination sports or big game license to an eligible person with a qualifying disability. This aims to increase hunting access for individuals with disabilities by utilizing existing landowner license designation programs.
