This bill, requested by the Department of Labor and Industry, aims to revise the laws concerning fees related to weights and measures. It grants the Department rulemaking authority to establish fees for weights and measures, while also limiting the fee increase for licenses associated with weighing devices. Additionally, the bill introduces new reporting requirements and mandates a one-time transfer of funds to support these changes.

The bill amends specific sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 30-12-202 and 30-12-203, to incorporate these updates. The overall goal is to streamline the fee structure and enhance the regulatory framework surrounding weights and measures in the state.
