The bill aims to eliminate the option for entities to provide oral reports to the legislature, mandating that all reports must be submitted in written form. This change is intended to standardize the reporting process and ensure that all information is documented for legislative review.

To implement this change, the bill amends Sections 5-11-210, 5-11-222, and 17-5-1650 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) by removing the provisions that allowed for oral entity reports. The amendments will streamline communication between entities and the legislature, enhancing transparency and accountability in the reporting process.
