House Bill No. introduced by G. Kmetz proposes revisions to the membership composition of the Public Safety Officer Standards and Training Council by amending Section 44-4-402 of the Montana Code Annotated. The bill reduces the number of members from two to one from the board of crime control and introduces a new position for a public safety communications officer, who will be appointed based on recommendations from the Montana Association of Public Safety Communications Officials. Additionally, the bill modifies the description of the two Montana citizens who serve on the council, removing the term "at large."

The bill aims to streamline the council's membership while ensuring that it includes a diverse range of representatives from various sectors of law enforcement and public safety. The proposed changes are intended to enhance the council's effectiveness in overseeing public safety officer standards and training. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
