House Bill 562 aims to streamline reporting requirements for various state agencies by amending sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) and repealing certain existing mandates. Notable deletions include the removal of the Department of Transportation's obligation to report biennially to the transportation interim committee regarding motor carrier law enforcement and its impacts on the state special revenue fund. Additionally, the bill eliminates the Department of Commerce's requirement to report to the local government interim committee on socioeconomic impact reviews of federal land management proposals and the obligation to post this information on its website.

The bill introduces new provisions that enhance the role of the Department of Commerce by allowing it to advocate on behalf of local governments concerning federal land management proposals. Other amendments address sections related to water resource management, power generation capacity studies, and hunting license regulations, ensuring that state agencies can operate more efficiently while maintaining necessary oversight. Overall, House Bill 562 seeks to reduce bureaucratic reporting burdens while improving the effectiveness of state agencies in fulfilling their responsibilities.
