The bill aims to prohibit seed cleaning or conditioning activities unless there is a declaration from the relevant department. This measure is intended to ensure that such practices are regulated and conducted in compliance with established standards to maintain seed quality and safety.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 80-5-134 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to incorporate this prohibition, thereby reinforcing the requirement for departmental oversight in seed cleaning and conditioning processes. The specific legal language changes include the insertion of provisions that mandate this declaration, while any existing language that may conflict with this new requirement is deleted.
