House Bill 449 aims to eliminate the statutory reference to the Adult Basic Education Fund and its distribution by repealing Section 20-7-712 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). This legislative action signifies a move away from the existing framework that governs the funding and distribution of adult basic education resources in Montana.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, following its passage through the legislative process. By removing this section from the MCA, the bill reflects a significant change in the state's approach to adult education funding, potentially impacting how such programs are financed and administered in the future.
