This bill proposes to transfer the authority and responsibility for plan review, permitting, inspection, and building code enforcement for public buildings owned or operated by state agencies to the Department of Labor and Industry. The bill amends Section 50-60-106 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to reflect this change, replacing the term "government entities" with "agencies." Additionally, it introduces a new provision that specifies all buildings owned by any state agency will be subject to the jurisdiction of the department for plan reviews, permitting, and inspections.

The bill also clarifies that the Department of Labor and Industry must provide affected cities, towns, and counties with the building plans and an opportunity to comment during the review process. Furthermore, the department is required to notify local jurisdictions of actions taken and to transmit copies of final building plans. This shift aims to streamline the oversight of public building projects and ensure that local jurisdictions remain informed and involved in the process.
