Generally revise Montana department of transportation’s utility relocation process

This bill updates Montana's laws to give the Department of Transportation more authority to manage how utilities and other facilities are moved when highway projects are planned. It allows the department to create rules that set specific timelines for relocation and reduce the amount of money the state pays if utilities or facility owners do not move their equipment in a timely manner. Under the new provisions, the state would normally cover 75% of relocation costs, but this percentage can decrease to zero if facilities are not moved within a reasonable time after notice. The bill also clarifies when the department can remove facilities without compensation and limits the department's liability for service interruptions during removal, while requiring the department to consult with utility companies before setting new rules.
