LC 2263 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise local government public notice and resolution requirements

This bill updates how Montana local governments must publish public notices and hold hearings for various actions. It directly affects cities, towns, and counties by changing requirements for where and when notices must appear, particularly for small communities that may not have local newspapers. The key changes allow smaller municipalities to post notices in three designated public places instead of newspapers, adjust timing deadlines for certain budget and assessment resolutions, and clarify how proof of publication can be documented. These provisions aim to streamline administrative processes while maintaining public access to information about local government decisions.
