Authorize transfers and other necessary measures to implement HB 2-Section B

This bill requires Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services to provide quarterly reports to the Health and Human Services Budget Committee on its progress developing a plan to comply with the Olmstead decision (a Supreme Court ruling requiring community-based care for people with disabilities instead of institutional settings). The reporting obligation begins after the 69th legislative session and continues until September 15, 2026, with the law taking effect July 1, 2025. It directly affects the Department of Public Health and Human Services, mandating regular updates on their Olmstead implementation efforts. The bill does not create new policy but establishes a temporary reporting mechanism for an existing requirement under Chapter 554, Laws of 2023.
