This bill amends Section 85-15-107 of the Montana Code Annotated to revise the exemptions from the Dam Safety Act. The current exemptions include federal dams, dams under specific permits, and those requiring compliance certificates. The bill introduces a new exemption for dams used for public sewage systems or public sewage disposal systems that are regulated by the Department of Environmental Quality, thereby expanding the scope of exemptions under the Dam Safety Act.

The bill maintains existing exemptions while adding the new provision, which aims to clarify the regulatory framework for certain types of dams. This change is intended to streamline oversight and ensure that the regulations are appropriately applied to various types of water management infrastructure, particularly those related to public health and environmental safety.
