Montana HB227 establishes a contingent litigation fund for occupational licensing boards and programs.

Montana HB227 creates a contingent litigation fund for occupational licensing boards and programs. The fund, located in the state special revenue fund, is intended to cover legal fees and costs related to the discipline of licenses issued by these boards or programs. The Department of Labor and Industry manages the fund, which can only be used if the fees and costs of a disciplinary proceeding exceed $15,000. The fund is financed by a fee not exceeding $25 per year for each licensee, which must be paid as part of their initial or renewal application fee.
