HB 926 Montana House · 2025 Regular Session

Revise state finance laws related to the debt free account and the coal trust fund

HB 926 proposed revising state finance laws by directing the state treasurer to transfer all unobligated funds from the debt and liability free account. These funds would primarily be moved into the coal severance tax permanent fund. A key provision stipulated that if Senate Bill No. 90 did not pass, these funds would instead be transferred to the Montana school facilities fund. The bill also included a small appropriation of $100 from the general fund to the Department of Revenue for implementation.
