Senate Bill No. introduced by J. Kassmier, at the request of the Department of Environmental Quality, aims to extend the termination date for revisions to the Natural Resources Operations State Special Revenue Account and General Fund Transfer. The bill amends existing laws by changing the termination date from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2029, in both Section 3 of Chapter 137, Laws of 2021, and Section 1 of Chapter 573, Laws of 2023.

Additionally, the bill includes a new section that establishes an effective date of July 1, 2025, for the act. This extension is intended to provide continued support and funding for natural resource operations in Montana, ensuring that the necessary resources remain available beyond the previously set termination date.
