This bill proposes significant changes to the governance of sanitarians by transferring the authority of the Board of Sanitarians to the Department of Labor and Industry. It aims to streamline the regulatory framework by repealing the Board of Sanitarians entirely and granting rulemaking authority to the Department. The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 37-1-401, 37-40-101, 37-40-203, 37-40-302, and 37-40-312, to reflect these changes.

Additionally, the bill repeals sections 2-15-1751, 37-40-201, and 37-40-202 of the MCA, which are likely related to the previous structure and functions of the Board of Sanitarians. This legislative action is intended to enhance efficiency and oversight in the field of sanitation by consolidating authority under the Department of Labor and Industry.
