HELENA – Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Director Dustin Temple issued a statement following news coverage of a ballot initiative proposed by a private citizen in Montana.
“Montana statute prevents state agencies from taking any position on citizen-led ballot initiatives,” Director Temple said. “We understand this is a topic of interest for hunters around the state, but in accordance with state law, FWP and its staff will offer no opinions on this matter.”
He continued: “However, we will be ready to answer factual questions as they arise from lawmakers, reporters, or members of the public.”
