HB 799 Montana House · 2025 Regular Session

Allow property owners to vote in voted levy elections

HB 799 expands the definition of who can vote in local mill levy elections for counties, cities, school districts, and other taxing entities. It allows individuals who own property within the taxing jurisdiction to vote, even if they do not reside there. These property owners must hold title and provide proof of tax payment. Each individual is limited to one vote per election, regardless of the number of properties they own within the district.

MINOR

The bill text was updated to reflect its official House Bill number (HB 799) instead of the legislative committee number (LC 4262). The content of the bill regarding qualified electors and levy authority remains substantively unchanged, with only minor formatting adjustments to line numbering and page headers.

TECHNICAL

The bill header was changed from 'LC 4262' to 'HB 799.1' and the introduction line was updated to name the sponsor 'T. FALK'.

Page header footers were updated to display 'Authorized Print Version - HB 799' instead of the committee number.

Minor formatting adjustments were made to line numbering sequences, such as merging lines 4 and 5, and lines 14 and 15, to align with standard bill formatting.
