This bill proposes to eliminate the requirement for the countersignature of the Commissioner of the Department of Labor and Industry on warrants for payment from the Unemployment Trust Fund. It amends Section 39-51-406 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to streamline the process for accessing funds from the unemployment insurance administration account. Additionally, the bill repeals Section 39-51-405, which previously mandated signatures on warrants, thereby simplifying the administrative procedures related to unemployment insurance payments.

The amendments to Section 39-51-406 include changes to the handling of funds requisitioned and deposited in the account, ensuring that they remain part of the unemployment insurance fund and are used according to specified conditions. The bill is designed to enhance the efficiency of fund management within the Department of Labor and Industry, with an immediate effective date upon passage and approval.
