A one-time issuance of hunting licenses to outfitted nonresidents, revamping preference points to favor outfitted nonresidents and upping block management payments highlight changes lawmakers made Wednesday to a Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks bill.
The amendments to House Bill 637 brought by Rep. Seth Berglee, R-Joliet, aim to provide the outfitting industry a post-COVID-19 boost and stabilize clientele in the future, Republicans supporting the bill said.
Democrats opposing the bill blasted the changes as coming at the 11th hour of the legislative session and in a forum that largely avoided the opportunity for public input.
History of HB 637
HB 637 came to the Legislature billed as cleanup legislation. Cleanup bills are common from agencies, typically dealing with tweaks to legal language, scrapping unneeded sections of law and making sure statutes work harmoniously.

Montana electric utility regulators are opposing a bill pending consideration on the Senate floor that would allow electric utilities to pass certain replacement power costs onto customers without regulators setting the terms.
The Montana Public Service Commission at its business meeting Tuesday voted unanimously to oppose a bill that would enable NorthWestern Energy to charge customers for power it buys on the open market if the Colstrip coal-fired power plant closes temporarily to meet environmental law.
House Bill 695 as amended would remove regulators’ ability to deny the request or set terms that balance utility and consumer interests. Republican Commissioner Tony O’Donnell of Billings said the implication of the bill upset him.

A Montana legislative committee Friday advanced a bill that borrows language from part of a previously tabled policy and now could allow electric utilities to pass certain replacement power costs onto customers without regulators setting the terms.
The amendment, made to a bill to generally revise environmental laws, would permit NorthWestern Energy to charge its customers for power it buys to compensate for outages or reduced generation at the Colstrip coal-fired power plant but only if those costs are associated with environmental testing or compliance with environmental law or permit requirements.
Republican Sen. Duane Ankney of Colstrip brought the amendment.
Several bills signed, transmitted to the Secretary of State by Gov Gianforte Wednesday
