Bill > HB694

This bill requires the Montana Department of Health to make daily disclosures on its website and other public communication channels about the total number of individuals hospitalized or who have died due to conditions or impacts related to a declared public health emergency. The disclosures must include information on the individuals' age cohorts, gender, hospitalization periods, dates of death, underlying conditions, and other personal characteristics that may be connected to mortality or morbidity associated with the emergency. The bill specifies that these disclosure requirements are to be codified as part of the state's public health laws.
