The bill revises the workforce development provisions under the Healthy Montana Health and Economic Livelihood Partnership Act by amending Section 39-12-103 of the Montana Code Annotated. Key changes include the removal of the requirement for contracting with private entities for training and education programs, allowing the department to directly assist program participants with employment or reemployment assessments. The bill mandates that the department provide workforce development services based on the assessment results, which must identify barriers to employment for individuals receiving health care assistance.

Additionally, the bill repeals several sections from previous laws, effectively terminating certain provisions related to the Healthy Montana Act. The effective date for the changes in Section 1 is set for October 1, 2025, while the rest of the act becomes effective upon passage and approval. The revisions aim to streamline workforce development services and enhance support for individuals seeking employment, particularly in high-demand occupations.
