Revise laws related to the fire suppression account
This bill updates Montana's fire suppression account by removing specific date references from statutory appropriations and establishes new reporting requirements for the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation. The legislation allows the state treasurer to automatically transfer funds to the account when the general fund balance exceeds a certain threshold, while also permitting the use of excess account balances for specific fire-related purposes such as fuel reduction, forest restoration, and equipment grants. Additionally, the department must submit annual reports detailing how funds are spent across different categories, and the changes take effect immediately upon passage.
