The bill revises the membership composition of the Public Safety Officer Standards and Training Council by amending Section 44-4-402 of the Montana Code Annotated. Key changes include reducing the number of members from two to one from the board of crime control and adding a new position for one public safety communications officer, who will be appointed based on recommendations from the Montana Association of Public Safety Communications Officials. Additionally, the bill specifies that there will be two Montana citizens who are informed and experienced in law enforcement, removing the previous designation of "at large."

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. These amendments aim to streamline the council's membership while ensuring a diverse representation of public safety professionals and community members.
