Interim study of the Montana State Fund safety program

This joint resolution requests an interim study of Montana's State Fund safety program to examine how funds are spent (including advertising, training, and travel) and investigate why Montana has high workplace death rates. The study, to be conducted by a designated committee working with the State Fund, labor, business, and government stakeholders, will analyze safety program effectiveness. It aims to identify best practices for preventing injuries and improving workplace safety, with findings due to the 70th Legislature by September 2026. The resolution does not change current law but seeks data to inform future policy decisions.
