The bill amends Section 44-4-402 of the Montana Code Annotated to revise the membership composition of the Public Safety Officer Standards and Training Council. The council will now consist of a maximum of 13 voting members appointed by the governor. Key changes include reducing the number of members from the board of crime control from two to one, and adding a new position for a public safety communications officer, who will be appointed based on recommendations from the Montana chapter of the association of public-safety communications officials.

Additionally, the bill removes the requirement for two Montana citizens to be appointed "at large," instead specifying that they should be informed and experienced in law enforcement. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
