Montana HB34 revises the disaster resiliency fund, making it permanent and increasing funding.

Montana HB34 amends the disaster resiliency fund, making it permanent and increasing the statutory appropriation to up to $15 million annually. The bill eliminates the fund's termination date and mandates a $50 million transfer from the general fund to the local disaster resiliency fund by June 30, 2025. The fund supports state and local mitigation projects, personnel costs, and grants for hazardous material equipment and training. The appropriation is void if there is a projected general fund budget deficit.
