This bill amends Section 85-15-107 of the Montana Code Annotated to revise the exemptions from the Dam Safety Act. Specifically, it introduces a new exemption for dams used for public sewage systems and public sewage disposal systems, stating that the provisions of sections 85-15-108 through 85-15-110, 85-15-209 through 85-15-216, 85-15-401, 85-15-502, and 85-15-503 do not apply to these types of dams. This exemption is regulated by the Department of Environmental Quality under Title 75, chapter 6, part 1, and Title 76, chapter 4, part 1.

The bill aims to clarify the regulatory framework surrounding dam safety by ensuring that public sewage and disposal system dams are not subject to the same safety regulations as other types of dams. This change is intended to streamline the regulatory process for these specific dams, which are essential for public health and environmental management.
