The bill proposes to amend the Montana Petroleum Brownfields Revitalization Act by removing the requirement that a site must be classified as having a relatively low risk in order to qualify for revitalization efforts. This change aims to broaden the scope of the Act, allowing for more sites to be eligible for revitalization, regardless of their assessed risk level.

Specifically, the bill amends sections 75-11-403 and 75-11-408 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to reflect this removal of the low-risk requirement. Additionally, the bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage, signaling a prompt shift in the legislative framework governing petroleum brownfields in Montana.
