11 2015 Accomplishments Passed HB 204 the Montana Recreation Providers Protection Act. This landmark legislation cleared the path for the legal use of Release and Waiver documents within the outfitting industry. Passed SB 274 the Paperwork Reduction Act significantly reducing unnecessary paper work for Outfitters and reduced administrative cost. Proposed rules at the MBO level to Amended making it mandatory that a warden or LEO must have written permission from outfitter and/or warrant to access records at any time. Prior to this they could show up unannounced and access anything without demonstrated probable cause Amended removing requirement to send in copies or permits, licenses, leases and L1s, replaced with submitting an outfitter generated Operations Plan. Once submitted, no need to continue to update unless there is changes Streamlined rules allowing nonresident outfitters to get a license by demonstrating like kind experience versus having to guide in MT first 11

12 2015 Accomplishments cont. Passed Senate Confirmation of Board of Outfitter Appointees Clarified the policy toward non-resident hunters, moving from a highly negative stance to a positive one Continued to lead on Sage Grouse management as part of an 11 State coalition to mitigate the impacts that will affect ranching, outfitting and responsible development. Reviewed and diligently participated in FWP Commission tentative process for the 2016 season setting. Of particular note was opposition to changes in HD 313 and HD 390. Improved customer service by allowing split off a portion of the combination licenses for a refund should they be unsuccessful in special permit drawings 12

13 2015 Accomplishments cont. Supported the Defunding of the Executive Order on Wage and Hour for Outfitting Provided leadership in passage to the Heritage Act which was one of the most significant bi-partisan conservation legislation of our time. MOGA was part of the lawsuit that successfully challenged the FWP Commission closure of HD outside Yellowstone to wolf hunting AND WE WON! Reduced significantly the workers compensation payments required by small businesses Operated for the 8 th year Big Hearts under the Big Sky, a nationally recognized charity. 13

14 MOGA Income FY 2015 Income 14

15 MOGA Expenses FY 2015 Expenses 15

16 Hunter Angler Defense Fund Has the potential to fund the entire MOGA operation and not cost the Outfitter a dime! Established as a pilot in 2012 Simple Add $50 per client charge to your contract / invoice Collect the fees in trust Remit payment to MOGA office Very favorable review by Outfitters who use it 16

17 Hunter Angler Defense Fund Year End Totals FYs

18 If all Outfitters in MOGA participated in the Hunter Angler Defense Fund, we would raise in excess of $250,00 18

19 Looking Ahead Pat / President s vision Strong and effective Legislative effort Continue to press ahead our position in the Tourism Economy Continue as a Conservation Partner and Active Participant Seek opportunity to continue to improve the image of Outfitting in Montana Continue to be THE recognized voice for Outfitting in Montana 19
