Bill Summary

AN ACT REVISING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LEGISLATIVE SERVICES DIVISION TO SELL CERTAIN PRINTED INFORMATION RELATED TO A LEGISLATIVE SESSION; ELIMINATING THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE LEGISLATIVE SERVICES DIVISION TO SELL SINGLE COPIES OF BILLS, RESOLUTIONS, AND AMMENTS AND TO PROVIDE A SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE TO ACCESS STATUS SHEETS; REQUIRING THE LEGISLATIVE SERVICES DIVISION TO PROVIDE ELECTRONIC VERSIONS OF BILLS, RESOLUTIONS, AND AMMENTS; AMING SECTION 5-11-212, MCA; AND PROVIDING AN IMMEDIATE EFFECTIVE DATE.”

AI Summary

This bill modifies the requirements for the Legislative Services Division (LSD) in Montana regarding the distribution of legislative documents. Specifically, the bill eliminates the previous requirements for selling single copies of bills, resolutions, and amendments, as well as removing the subscription service for status sheets. Instead, the bill mandates that the LSD provide electronic versions of all bills, resolutions, and their amendments at no additional cost. The bill maintains the ability to purchase a complete set of legislative session proceedings for a fee determined by the legislative council, with an optional mailing fee. The executive director of the LSD will still be responsible for collecting funds from document sales and transmitting them to the state treasurer to be credited to the general fund. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage and approval, signaling a shift towards digital document distribution and potentially reducing printing and distribution costs for legislative materials.
