Bill Summary

AN ACT REMOVING THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE COUNTERSIGNATURE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY ON WARRANTS FOR PAYMENT FROM THE UNEMPLOYMENT TRUST FUND; AMING SECTION 39-51-406, MCA; REPEALING SECTION 39-51- 405, MCA; AND PROVIDING AN IMMEDIATE EFFECTIVE DATE.

AI Summary

This bill removes the requirement for the Commissioner of the Department of Labor and Industry to countersign warrants (official payment documents) for the Unemployment Insurance Administration Account. Specifically, the bill amends Section 39-51-406 of the Montana Code Annotated by deleting references to Section 39-51-405, which previously mandated signature requirements, and completely repeals Section 39-51-405. The bill modifies the existing language to streamline the administrative process for accessing and using funds in the Unemployment Insurance Administration Account, which is a federal special revenue fund used to cover administrative costs related to unemployment insurance programs. By removing the countersignature requirement, the bill aims to simplify and potentially expedite the financial processes associated with unemployment insurance administration. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, as specified in Section 3 of the document.
