This bill aims to revise and standardize the laws governing licensing boards in the state. It establishes clear standards for the appointments, qualifications, and terms of members on these boards, ensuring a more organized and consistent approach to their operation. Additionally, the bill allows the Department of Labor and Industry to charge fees related to the licensing process and mandates a review of licensing programs when considering the creation of new boards.

The legislation also includes amendments to multiple sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections related to the organization and compensation of licensing boards, as well as the review process for new boards. Notably, it repeals Section 2-8-403, which may have previously outlined certain requirements or procedures that are no longer deemed necessary. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of licensing boards within the state.
