Funding and account for shooting facilities

Beginning July 1, 2025, the state creates a special account for shooting facilities planning and improvements. Fish, Wildlife & Parks manages it. The account can take gifts, grants, donations, securities, and other lawful funds. Interest and unspent money stay in the account. The law also gives $55,000 from the general fund for the 2025–27 biennium to support the task force’s work. Any unspent appropriation goes back to the general fund at the end of the biennium.

Montana task force plans state shooting ranges

Beginning July 1, 2025, the state creates a task force to plan Montana state shooting facilities. Members include the governor, a parks board member, the Fish, Wildlife & Parks director or designee, two manufacturing reps, two public reps, and four lawmakers. The House Speaker and Senate President name the co-chairs. The group sets site rules, reviews current ranges, drafts a request for proposals, and makes recommendations to the governor and legislative committees. It is housed in Fish, Wildlife & Parks and must report by June 30, 2027. Members get $100 per day plus travel. Full‑time state or local employees are paid only for work outside normal hours or while on leave. Vacancies are filled the same way as original appointments. The task force section ends June 30, 2027.
