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, specifically replacing the term "government entities" with "agencies." Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that states all buildings owned by any state agency will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Department for plan reviews, permitting, and inspections.

Furthermore, the bill outlines that the Department must provide affected cities, towns, and counties with the building plans and an opportunity to comment during the review process. It also mandates that the Department notify local jurisdictions of actions taken and send copies of final building plans. The amendments aim to streamline the process of building code enforcement and ensure local jurisdictions are kept informed of developments related to state-owned buildings.
