Study resolution on impacts of federal funding changes on MDT

HJ 70 is a joint resolution requesting a study of how federal funding changes might affect Montana's Department of Transportation (MDT). It directs the Legislative Finance Committee to analyze potential impacts on MDT operations, staffing (including 2,041+ positions reliant on federal funds), and key programs like highways, infrastructure maintenance, and transit. The study would examine budget shifts, program sustainability, and workforce effects if federal funding decreases. This resolution does not change laws or funding but seeks to inform future legislative decisions. (Note: The resolution passed the House but died in the Senate process.)
