The bill is a joint resolution from the Senate and House of Representatives of Montana, which requests an interim study to explore ways to enhance the inclusion of disabled Montanans in government processes. The resolution highlights the lack of accessible housing in Montana's capital city, which hinders the ability of individuals with disabilities to participate fully in government activities. It calls for the Legislative Council to designate an appropriate committee to investigate accessible housing options in the Capitol area, assess methods for including potential occupants in government activities, and explore partnerships for sustaining such projects.
The study aims to gather input from various stakeholders, including agencies on aging, the Department of Military Affairs, and centers for independent living. It outlines specific objectives, such as identifying suitable buildings for accessible housing and assessing the inclusion of personal care attendants. The resolution mandates that all findings and conclusions be presented to a designated committee before September 15, 2024, with the final results reported to the 69th Legislature.
