Bill > HB487

This bill modifies the existing law regarding the structure of Montana's Department of Transportation by removing the requirement that the department must have specific divisions. Currently, the law mandates that the department maintain five specific divisions: highways, aeronautics, administration, rail and transit, and motor carrier services. The proposed change eliminates the mandatory language, allowing the department more flexibility in organizing its internal structure. By removing the requirement for these specific divisions, the bill gives the department's leadership and the governor more discretion in determining the most appropriate organizational framework for the Department of Transportation. This change could potentially streamline administrative processes, allow for more efficient resource allocation, or enable the department to adapt its organizational structure more readily to changing transportation needs and priorities.
