Montana HB466 clarifies the Montana Environmental Policy Act by defining categorical exclusions and exempting certain state actions from.
Montana HB466 amends the Montana Environmental Policy Act to define "categorical exclusion" as a state action that does not require an environmental analysis or impact statement. State agencies are tasked with identifying such actions and exempting them from environmental review. The bill also exempts the Department of Administration from environmental review for construction and maintenance on state land, and the Department of Commerce from review for historic preservation grants. State agencies must report the use of categorical exclusions to the legislature.
