House Bill 280 proposes the repeal of the Interagency Coordinating Council for State Prevention Programs, effectively eliminating the associated reporting requirements. The bill specifically targets and repeals Section 2-15-225 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), which outlines the framework and responsibilities of this council.
By removing this section, the bill aims to streamline state operations related to prevention programs, potentially reducing bureaucratic overhead and allowing for a more efficient allocation of resources. The repeal signifies a shift in the state's approach to prevention initiatives, although the bill does not provide details on alternative measures or frameworks that may replace the council's functions.
