HJ 69 Montana House · 2025 Regular Session

Study resolution on impacts of federal funding changes on Dept. of Military Affairs

This resolution (HJ 69) requests a study of how potential federal funding changes could impact Montana's Department of Military Affairs. It directs the Legislative Finance Committee to examine effects on the department's operations, staffing (including 252+ positions funded by federal dollars), and programs like the National Guard and disaster services. The study must report findings to the 70th Legislature by September 2026. As a procedural resolution, it does not change laws or funding but prepares for potential future decisions.
