The 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 certain sections of the Dam Safety Act do not apply to these types of dams. This change aims to clarify the regulatory framework surrounding dams associated with public sewage and disposal systems.

In addition to the new exemption, the bill retains existing exemptions for various types of dams, including those subject to federal permits, federal dams and reservoirs, and nonfederal dams located on federal lands that undergo federal safety reviews. The inclusion of public sewage systems as exempt from the Dam Safety Act reflects a targeted approach to streamline regulations for specific infrastructure critical to public health and safety.
