Provide for the regulation of secure youth transportation companies
This bill requires private companies that transport children (excluding government employees) to register annually with Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services, providing details like company ownership, vehicle information, and business licenses. Companies must notify the department 48 hours before transporting a child, including the child's details, parent contact, and transport route, while the department maintains records for 10 years and shares them with law enforcement for human trafficking investigations. The bill prohibits using physical restraints, chemical restraints, or visually impairing children (like blindfolds), and bans pickups between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. It directly affects secure youth transportation companies, aiming to enhance child safety and prevent trafficking through transparency and record-keeping.
