Bill Summary

Clarify definition of bison

AI Summary

This bill aims to clarify the definition of "bison" in Montana law. It amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated to define "wild buffalo or bison" as a bison that has not been reduced to captivity, has never been subject to a per capita fee, has never been owned by a person, and is not the offspring of a bison that has been subject to the per capita fee. The bill also exempts bison owned by a tribal member or tribe and located on fee land or tribal land within the boundaries of a reservation from the per capita fee requirement. The bill provides an immediate effective date upon passage and approval.
