This joint resolution requests an interim study of Dawson Community College by the Legislative Council of Montana, with the final results to be reported to the 70th Legislature. The study aims to evaluate the return on investment of the college, collaborating with various stakeholders including the college administration, the Office of Commissioner of Higher Education, and the Governor's Office of Budget and Program Planning. The committee will analyze recent enrollment and completion trends, funding requirements, and the economic impacts of the college on the local community and region.

Additionally, the resolution outlines that the committee will explore options for improving the college's return on investment, which may include program consolidation with neighboring colleges, operating as a satellite campus, or even closure. The study's findings must be presented to an appropriate committee and concluded by May 15, 2026, ensuring that all aspects are reviewed before the final report is submitted to the legislature.
