House Bill No. introduced by J. Darling, D. Loge, and N. Duram aims to revise the laws related to the Department of Transportation in Montana. The bill proposes to eliminate the requirement for the department to maintain specific divisions, allowing for greater flexibility in its organizational structure.

Specifically, the bill amends Section 2-15-2501 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) by removing the mandated divisions of highways, aeronautics, administration, rail and transit, and motor carrier services. Instead, it states that the department may have as many divisions as are necessary, thereby granting the director of transportation, who is appointed by the governor, the discretion to determine the department's divisional needs.
