The bill amends Section 81-3-211 of the Montana Code Annotated to allow individuals to exhibit a digital copy of required documentation for the transportation of livestock. Previously, individuals were required to present physical certificates of inspection, market consignment permits, transportation permits, or market release certificates upon request by law enforcement or state inspectors. The new language specifies that for travel and transportation purposes, a digital copy of these documents is sufficient to meet the legal requirements.

This change aims to modernize the process of livestock transportation by accommodating digital documentation, which can enhance efficiency and convenience for livestock owners. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, reflecting the urgency of adapting to contemporary practices in livestock management.
