This bill proposes the elimination of the Board of County Printing and the transfer of its responsibilities to the Department of Administration. Key amendments include changing references from the "board of county printing" to the "department of administration" in several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). The bill outlines the department's authority to set maximum prices for county legal advertising, which is specified as $14 for the first insertion and $12 for subsequent insertions. Additionally, the department is tasked with annually adjusting these prices based on an inflation factor, with the adjusted prices becoming effective on March 1 of each year.

The bill also repeals sections related to the composition and meetings of the Board of County Printing, specifically sections 2-15-1026 and 18-7-403, MCA. The Department of Administration will now be responsible for adopting necessary standards for county legal advertising and ensuring compliance with the established maximum prices. A transition provision allows current board members to serve until the effective date of the act, ensuring a smooth transition of duties to the new department.
