LC 2642 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise oil and gas production damage mitigation account

This bill revises how oil and gas production taxes are distributed in Montana, specifically changing how funds are allocated to the oil and gas production damage mitigation account. It requires that remaining tax funds after other allocations be deposited into the mitigation account, but only if the account's unobligated balance is less than $10 million; otherwise, funds stay in the board's expense account as reserves. The legislation also establishes specific percentages for distributing tax revenues to various counties based on production activity within each county. These changes directly affect the Montana Department of Revenue, oil and gas producers, county governments, and the state special revenue fund.
