This bill aims to eliminate the Small Business Compliance Assistance Advisory Council from the Clean Air Act of Montana and revise the duties of the Small Business Stationary Source Representative. The bill amends Section 75-2-109 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to enhance the role of the Small Business Stationary Source Representative, who will now represent small business interests before various agencies and assist them in meeting air quality requirements. Notably, the representative will now consult with small businesses and other stakeholders regularly, replacing the previous requirement to consult with the advisory council.

Additionally, the bill repeals sections 2-15-2110 and 75-2-106 of the MCA, which pertained to the Small Business Compliance Assistance Advisory Council and its duties. The amendments and repeals reflect a shift in focus towards direct engagement with small businesses and streamlining compliance assistance efforts under the Clean Air Act.
