The bill, titled "AN ACT REPEALING THE FEDERAL MANDATES ACT; REVISING REPORTING REQUIREMENTS," aims to repeal several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) related to federal mandates. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate sections 2-1-401, 2-1-402, 2-1-403, 2-1-404, 2-1-405, 2-1-406, 2-1-407, 2-1-408, and 2-1-409. These sections cover various aspects of state programs implementing federal statutes, budget recommendations, reporting on federal mandates, and legislative oversight.

Additionally, the bill directs the code commissioner to renumber the remaining sections into a new section in Title 5, chapter 11, part 1 of the MCA. This legislative action reflects a significant shift in how Montana will handle federal mandates and reporting requirements, potentially streamlining processes and reducing the regulatory burden on state programs.
