House Bill No. introduced by E. Tilleman and others aims to appropriate funds for statewide access to a K-12 digital toolkit in Montana. The bill allocates $1.1 million to the Office of Public Instruction and $750,000 to the Department of Labor and Industry for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This toolkit will provide state standards-aligned instructional materials across various content areas, including career and technical education resources, to support workforce development in collaboration with local Montana industry partners. The legislature intends for these appropriations to be part of the ongoing base for future sessions.

Additionally, the bill establishes an effective date of July 1, 2025, and includes a termination date of June 30, 2029, indicating the duration of the funding and program. The new sections introduced in the bill outline the appropriation details and the timeline for implementation and termination.
