Montana § 87-1-264 - Expenditure Of Hunting Access Program Funds On Weed Control

§ 87-1-264. Expenditure Of Hunting Access Program Funds On Weed Control

Expenditure of hunting access program funds on weed control. The legislature recognizes that the hunting access programs authorized in 87-1-265 successfully encourage landowners to increase public access to private and public lands for purposes of hunting, but that increased public access may also contribute to an increase in the spread of noxious weeds on public and private lands. Therefore, in an effort to improve management and services related to those programs, the department may offer up to 5% in additional incentive payments above the maximum annual payment established in 87-1-265 to landowners who agree to use those additional payments for specific weed management activities on lands under their control.
