House Bill 430 seeks to repeal the process for establishing county-owned scales in Montana by eliminating several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). Specifically, the bill repeals sections 7-21-3101 through 7-21-3108, which cover various aspects related to public scales, including their establishment, ownership, capacity and design, the appointment and bonding of public weighers, record-keeping, fees for weighing, and misconduct by public weighers.

By removing these sections, the bill effectively discontinues the regulatory framework that governs the operation and oversight of county-owned scales, thereby streamlining the legal requirements associated with public weighing services in the state. This legislative change reflects a shift in policy regarding the management of public scales at the county level.
