House Bill 487 revises the laws governing the Department of Transportation in Montana by eliminating the requirement for the department to maintain specific divisions. The bill amends Section 2-15-2501 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to state that while the department may have as many divisions as necessary, it is no longer mandated to have divisions for highways, aeronautics, administration, rail and transit, and motor carrier services. This change provides the department with greater flexibility in its organizational structure.

The bill reflects a shift towards a more adaptable framework for the Department of Transportation, allowing it to respond to changing needs without being constrained by predefined divisions. By removing the requirement for specific divisions, the department can potentially streamline operations and allocate resources more effectively based on current priorities and challenges.
