The bill establishes a plan review special revenue account within the state special revenue fund to facilitate the review of public water supply and sewage system plans and specifications. It mandates that revenue from fees assessed for these services be credited to this account, which can only be used to cover the costs incurred by the department in implementing the review process. Additionally, the bill amends existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to clarify the duties of the department regarding public water supply systems, including the collection of fees and the establishment of standards for the review and approval of these systems.

Key amendments include the insertion of provisions that specify the collection of plan and specification review fees, which will be deposited into the newly created plan review special revenue account. The bill also modifies the existing public drinking water special revenue fund to reflect these changes, ensuring that funds are allocated appropriately for the department's activities related to public health and safety in water supply systems. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
