This amendment delays the implementation of the weighted bonus points system for antlered moose and ram bighorn sheep licenses from 2029 to 2032, and modifies the transition process to create a hybrid system with both weighted bonus point and preference point drawings until the full conversion in 2032.
- Removes the previous Landen second reading amendment entirely and replaces the provisions for how antlered moose and ram bighorn sheep licenses are issued. (Amendment lines 1-2)
- Deletes the original language about unsuccessful applicants and replaces it with a new system that allocates 25% of licenses through weighted bonus point drawing and 75% through preference point drawing, beginning with the 2026 license year. First-year applicants and those with 19 or fewer preference points participate in weighted bonus drawing; those with 20 or more preference points participate in preference point drawing. (Page 7, lines 17-18; Page 8, lines 13-23; Page 9, lines 1-13)
- Establishes that applicants forfeiting points after two consecutive years of non-application shall be treated as first-year applicants. From 2032 forward, all applicants with preference points convert to weighted bonus points and 100% of licenses are issued through weighted bonus point drawing. (Page 9, lines 1-32)
- Changes the effective date of the act from January 1, 2029 to January 1, 2032, specifying that the act applies to all antlered moose and ram bighorn sheep licenses issued through the preference point draw for hunting seasons commencing on or after January 1, 2032. (Page 16, lines 1-3, 10, 15)
