FWP listening session on replacing Automated License System, Nov. 29

MISSOULA - Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) is hosting a series of public meetings to gather input on replacing its current Automated License System (ALS) that administers hunting and fishing license sales.

A listening session is planned for Missoula Thursday, Nov. 29, from 6-8 p.m. at the FWP office (3201 Spurgin Road). FWP hopes to use the meeting to better understand how the current system is meeting customer expectations and where it can be improved.

FWP will be requesting permission from the 2019 Legislature to replace the outdated system and is exploring the potential to expand it to include campsite reservations and other fee payments.

Other listening sessions are planned around the state. For more information, and to see a complete schedule, visit fwp.mt.gov and then click on “News.”
