LC 4457 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise state finance laws related to the debt free account and the coal trust fund

This bill requires Montana's state treasurer to transfer all unspent funds from the state's "debt and liability free account" into the "coal severance tax permanent fund" within 10 days of the bill's effective date. The transfer applies only to unobligated and unexpended money in the debt-free account, as defined in existing law. If another bill (SB 90) fails to pass, the transfer would instead go to the "Montana school facilities fund" instead. The bill appropriates $100 from the general fund to cover implementation costs for the 2025-2027 biennium. It takes effect immediately upon approval.
