The bill establishes a new plan review special revenue account within the state special revenue fund to support the review of public water supply and sewage system plans and specifications. Revenue from fees assessed and collected under existing law will be credited to this account, which can only be used to cover the costs incurred by the department in implementing these reviews. Additionally, the bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to reflect these changes, including the duties of the department regarding public water supply systems and the collection of fees.

Specifically, the bill modifies Section 75-6-104 to include provisions for the collection of plan and specification review fees, which will be deposited into the newly created account. It also amends Section 75-6-108 to clarify that fees collected for plan reviews will be allocated to this account, while fees for public water supply systems will continue to be deposited into the existing public drinking water special revenue fund. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
